Procedure:

It is possible to test the efficiency of a lower level weighting for a TextCensor Script while in an active environment by doing the following:

1. Copy and rename the TextCensor Script you wish to test.
2. Change the trigger level on the copy to a lower number.
3. Create a new rule that utilizes the copied TextCensor Script.
   
   • Adjust the rule to send a copy to a folder, and continue processing messages through further rules.

The rule created will allow you to see how many emails triggered the rule, based on the number of emails copied to the designated folder. This will allow you to view the messages that would be blocked, and determine how effecient the lower weighting is in terms of false positives. Once the weighting level has been adjusted to minimize false positives and maximize the efficency of the script, you can use the new script to block messages.
