The default is 0.1 IIRC, and I wouldn't recommend setting it lower
without negative-scoring custom rules - it's set positive for good
reasons. 

BAYES and "userconf" whitelisting rules don't count for autolearning, so
if you set a negative threshold with the default rules, you rely on
DNS whitelisting to define ham - the likes of HABEOUS.

Setting it at exactly 0.0 is also problematical since the decision to
learn is commonly going to be determined by nominally scored rules that
score 0.001 and -0.001.
