One thing that immediately leaps out is you need to train your bayes. All
of those are hitting 40-60, which shouldn't be happening, especially for
the bulk of spam.
Note that this does not mean "turn on autolearning". Do you have ham and
spam training corpora collected? If not, start collecting. You should plan
on training with new messages at the very least once a week, daily review
of FPs and FNs and dropping then into mail folders that are trained from
nightly is standard practice.
