Thanks Ted, I am now trialing adjustment of bayes. I had hoped something like this would have been possible in config. if (header MAILING_LIST exists:list-id) score BAYES_50 5 score BAYES_60 6 score BAYES_80 8 score BAYES_95 9 score BAYES_99 10 endif So it only adjusts the bayes for mailing lists. Apparently need to write a plugin to do that. .d.d.
