[exim] spam_score_int - what to do with negative values?

Hi!

I deny messages in an acl if they have a score of more than 8 or 12:
(shortened version with less conditions, that are not relevant here probably):


deny message = delivery error with obfuscating details
condition = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{120}{1}{0}}

Usually this is no problem. But now I have a user who got a mail that was denied with a score of -12.6 and an error message that tells me that it got denied because of this rule.

Now I wonder if spam_score_int is actually an absolute value and 12.6 and -12.6 are the same in the comparison.

If this is the case, what can I do about it?

Best,

Niels
