I just wanted to throw an idea out there in case there might be interest.
Recently, I implemented SA on a site wide basis (SMTP relay from qmail to
exchange) with much success. Our users have recently come back and asked me
about the possibility of implementing what I call a score range or offset.
So, where the site wide threshold is currently set to five, we get a few
false positives usually scoring 5.1 - 6.0, and conversely spam that is being
scored 4.5 - 4.9. While to me this isn't a problem (hey we're eliminating
98% of what is spam), the users came up with the "maybe" idea.  So in the
setup I thought of this idea:

Maybe_Factor 1 (default 0) 

Where messages within 5.0 - 6.0 (1 offset from threshold) are marked with
"maybe". This way, messages scoring higher then 6 (or more) are marked with
a definite. Then the user's outlook rules could move the maybes to a
separate folder but the definite can be wiped out.

Just an idea, I've already looked at the SA code and it doesn't seem
terribly hard to implement, and if there is more interest, I'll release a
patch. If I'm way off base feel free to educate me :-)
