Ok I think I figured it out.  The minimum_bouncing_period can be described
as follows:

"Collect all the bounced over the bouncing_period (i.e. 10 days) then
evaluate a score"

So if it is under 10 days ... no score.

Is that correct?

In my sympa.conf, there is no minimum_bouncing_period defined.  Can I simply
define it in the sympa.conf?

Once I go under sympa.conf and redefine the bouncing period, can I then
force the scoring of the bounces to occur immediately?

Thanks again for your help!

Paul

Keep in mind that the bouncing period is important.
If the user bounces for a shorter period (in days) than the value of the 
minimum_bouncing_period parameter, then the score won't be evaluated. 
The default vlaue for this parameter is 10.
As you user seems to be bouncing for only four days, it seems normal, 
provided you didn't change this parameter value, that its score hasn't 
been calculated yet.

Cheers,
