It's actually a case of a tie-breaking mechanism in amavisd-new.  If you
set both values to the same figure, the first condition to be tested
succeeds.  In other words ">=" is correct in both cases--except when
both values are identical.


| 2. Regarding the same two options from the Domain Mail Filter Defaults
| page, it seems that you can't have a "Consider mail 'Spam' when Score
| is" (CMSWS) value that is lower than the "Quarantine Spam when Score is"
| (QSWS) value.  That is, if I decrease CMSWS below QSWS, Maia
| automatically decreases QSWS to be equal to CMSWS.
|
| I mention this because it seems like two different (and unrelated)
| decisions: 1) whether an a-email is spam/ham, 2) whether an e-mail
| should be quarantined or not.
|
| Is this the intended behavior?

This was introduced in RC5 as a means of preventing people from
supplying score thresholds that were inconsistent with the destinies
they'd set for spam.  Ticket #18
<https://secure.renaissoft.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/18> proposes a
better solution.
