# Shortcircuit Settings

**shortcircuit** - `shortcircuit`
Shortcircuiting a test will force all other pending rules to be skipped, if that test is hit. The syntax is SYMBOLIC\_TEST\_NAME (ham|spam|on|off).
Default: empty

**shortcircuit\_spam\_score** - `shortcircuit_spam_score`
When shortcircuit is used on a rule, and the shortcircuit classification type is set to spam, this value should be applied in place of the default score for that rule.
Default: 100

**shortcircuit\_ham\_score** - `shortcircuit_ham_score`
When shortcircuit is used on a rule, and the shortcircuit classification type is set to ham, this value should be applied in place of the default score for that rule.
Default: -100
