======Spam Filter Rules: Rule names and weights======
The script can designate names to refer to certain rules. This name is created using a [[spamrules_statement_definerule|DefineRule]] statement.

If you the follow a statement by a word in square brackets, when that statement is actioned, VPOP3 will add the specified word to a list of 'matched conditions' which can be used in reporting.

Also, the **DefineRule** statement indicates a 'weight' for the rule being defined. This weighting can also be modified via ''Settings -> Spam Filter -> General -> Rule Weights'' in VPOP3's Administration Settings. 

The weight defines a multiplier for any numeric operations performed by the statements that use it.

=====Example=====
Consider the following; if 'myrule' has a weight of 0.5
<code>
${Score} += 100  [myrule]
</code>
This statement will actually add 50 (100 * 0.5) to the 'Score' variable
