Yes, you did state some scores are adjusted. That one really stuck out,
though, and with such a ridiculously high score (your own words, let me
just stress the point ;) being a typo was not unlikely. Your usage as
test-phase for possible SMTP rejection makes sense and puts it into
perspective.

*nod*  With a well-trained Bayes DB, that's entirely possible.

Thanks. :)
