OK, so you've got a BAYES_99 on that message, which is a pretty good
indication that the training has worked. However, SA's confidence in
the Bayes algorithm is only worth about one point out of a necessary
five, so the rest of the rules have to contribute the other (just a
bit more than) four points, and they do not:
You're misreading that. The bayes evaluation is 0.9999 (99%) probability
spam, which leads to BAYES_99, which adds 3.5 points.
* 0.4 STOX_REPLY_TYPE STOX_REPLY_TYPE
* 1.2 RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO Received: contains an IP address used for
HELO
* 1.8 STOX_REPLY_TYPE_WITHOUT_QUOTES STOX_REPLY_TYPE_WITHOUT_QUOTES
3.5 + .4 + 1.2 + 1.8 = 6.9
According to that, if the threshold hasn't been changed this message
should have been considered spam.
Agreed that hitting BAYES_99 is a good indicator that training is working.

Gun Control is nothing more than an attempt to return to feudalism,
where the peasants are helpless and must humbly petition their lord
and master to protect them from bandits and thieves (when they can
get around to it), and where the lords and masters can abuse the
peasants whenever they like without fear of effective resistance.
