adjust scores, here are likely current settings:

score BAYES_00 0 0 -1.665 -2.599
score BAYES_05 0 0 -0.925 -0.413
score BAYES_20 0 0 -0.730 -1.951
score BAYES_40 0 0 -0.276 -1.096
score BAYES_50 0 0 1.567 0.001
score BAYES_60 0 0 3.515 1.0
score BAYES_80 0 0 3.608 2.0
score BAYES_95 0 0 3.514 3.0
score BAYES_99 0 0 4.070 3.5

The last column is likely the one you need to edit.
Place these in local.cf and season to taste.
