OK OK - I made it 4.999 just for you. {^_-}

Thanks, I'll sleep better now knowing this... :-P

I was under the impression you made BAYES_99 worth 99 points. 5 points for bayes isn't terrible, provided you have a well trained bayes database and the possibility for ham to trigger some negative rules. My sites run BAYES_99 in the 4.5-ish range.

(That said, the rules for Bayes need bayesic reworking. There are two
modes in which it works, per user or global. In per user mode with some
decent manual training it is quite good. In global with hundreds of
users and "autolearn" it is probably at best an 80% thing. Some personal
for the per user with no autolearn is quite worthwhile.)

That's probably what makes me a little paranoid about bayes, we run it site wide so I'm always worried the database will go south PDQ. On my personal machine at home with per-user accounts, I've never seen bayes score a FP.
