Thanks for your reply. Could you explain in a bit more detail what
"gradient on top" (of another rule) means? It doesn't mean the score
is meant to be additive with the base rule, does it? 'Cause these spams
_do not_ trigger any of the bayes rules _except_ for BAYES_999. That's
why they score too low to be caught.
Sure. BAYES_99 used to hit for emails that the naive Bayesian
classifier identified as 99% to 100% spam.
BAYES_99 is now split into two rules to give it finer gradient on scores
for different percentages:
BAYES_99 99% to 99.9%
BAYES_999 99.9% to 100%
That split was theoretically being tested but got auto-promoted without
a proper score defaulting to 1.
