That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, could that be done as {yes} {no} and get the same
result?

Checking that part out now. 11.8 at the moment.

What about the core problem? I went into the scores.cf file of SA
and changed the blacklist to 50 from 100. Is the inability to reject
a score over 100 a bug or a feature? Theoretically, an all-in-one
spammer could try to sell me a mortgage, some little blue footballs,
a nice new watch to keep track of the time while looking at the pr0n
he sent(a need induced by the LBFs), and a message from a nice woman
in Nigeria who would like me to help her smuggle some money out of
the country to help pay for it all. That should jack the score up
over 100 pretty quickly, especially with some HTML, bugs, and a few
good keywords. Of course, then I'll need some Xanax to bring me down
off the anxiety train all that brought up.
