Thanks for the idea :) My first alternative way of thinking was to put the header value in a variable, then multiply it by 10000 (in my actual issue, the fraction always has 4 characters), then handle it as an int. However, doing a calculation is also not supported.
I was trying to do some nifty stuff with DSPAM headers, which adds header that indicates "Spam" or "Innocent", and a fractional value between 0 and 1 that indicates the confidence that the filter has in its own classification:
X-DSPAM-Result: Spam X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.9456 ==> quite sure it is spam
X-DSPAM-Result: Innocent X-DSPAM-Confidence: 0.9889 ==> even more sure that it is not spam
Based on these headers, I wanted to do something with messages that the filter was really sure about, like pushing them to spamcop.
Combining these headers in the sieve spamtest configuration to create a sliding scale between 1 and 10 is not really possible.
Not with the current implementation, no. But I could incorporate this new type of specification in the configuration capabilities. Using the spamtest :percent test, this could for instance map as follows:
Result=Innocent; Confidence=0.0000 - 1.0000 => spamtest :percent yields 50 - 0 Result=Spam; Confidence=0.0000 - 1.0000 => spamtest :percent yields 50 - 100
Other mappings are possible of course.
