The value for the preference of the variable that you want to manipulate.

    • SCORE represents the floating-point value that SpamAssassin assigns to the mail when the test result is true. The score value must be greater than 0, and less than 1000.
  • A valid floating-point number if the value of the preference parameter is required_score.

  • A valid email address if the value of the preference parameter is whitelist_from or blacklist_from.

  • A custom SpamAssassin variable value.
