That's correct.  See the procmailsc(5) manual page.  A weighted =

greater-than condition scores W=D7(M/L)^X.  {A weighted less-than condition =

scores W=D7(L/M)^X.]  You hve W=3D100, X=3D2, L=3D2000, and greater-than.  =
So when =

M=3D830, 100=D7(830/2000)^2 =3D 17.2225; when M=3D2233, 100=D7(2233/2000)^2=
 =3D =

124.657225.  The $=3D variable rounds down to the whole integer.

The code is working as promised.

Now, the real question: what were you expecting?  What results were you =

trying to get?
