Please provide any quick comments on this. This will be added to the

add to the docs.

Title : WCSAP Scoring System
Version: 2.07
Date : 01/14/06 04:58 pm

-------------
Introduction:
-------------

A new WCSAP scoring system was added to WCSAPFILTER.TXT filter
processing.

It works like this:

The scoring system based on using +/- numbers for your ACCEPT/REJECT
rules.

For example, suppose you have these three reject rules:

reject if condition1
reject if condition2
reject if condition3

Since WCSAP reads the rules from the TOP of the wcsapfilter.txt file, if
the first condition fails, then no more reading is done and the result
is a reject based on condition1.

The above is equivalent to:

reject if condition1 or condition2 or condition3

This means any condition will cause a reject.

If you wanted to use all three conditions to create a reject, then you
could a combined the conditions with an AND operator:

reject if condition1 and condition2 and condition3

This means all 3 conditions must be met to create a reject.

But what if you wanted to put a weight on a certain condition?

What if you only wanted a reject if 2 of 3 conditions failed?

In this case, this is where the new scoring system will help prepare
this:

; Test and score three conditions
score -1 if condition1
score -1 if condition2
score -1 if condition3

The SCORE command is accumulative which means WCSAP will remember the
current score (which begins at zero) and you would use the SCORE command
to add or subject from the current score.

Then you would use the %SCORE% macro within a REJECT/ACCEPT if condition
to test the current score against a value you believe best represents
the behavior you seek, for example:

; Reject if the score is less or equal to -2.
reject if %SCORE% LTE -2

-----------------------
WCSAP Scoring Commands:
-----------------------

SetScore <value>

Set the current score. The current always starts at zero.
You can also use this to set it at any value you want or
to reset it to zero.


Score <value> if condition

Perform a if condition, if the condition passes (ends up being
true), then add the score value to the current total score.

%SCORE%

%SCORE% is a macro representing the current total score. You
you can use it with a ACCEPT or REJECT command to test the
current score.
