I just noticed the default collecting option for spam bombs 
(spamBombLog) is "spam folder & sendallspam". I thought the idea behind 
catching spam bombs was to prevent them from disrupting the corpus and 
disrupting the bayesian test. So would it not be safer to discard them? 
And related to this, tests that fail because of the message score and 
have a bomb test that was scored are going to the spam corpus. They used 
to be discard. I'm assuming there is a reason for these to changes.

Also, on the subject of bomb test. The default penalty value for a 
bombraw (bombValencePB) is 20, default for bayseian (baysValencePB) is 
39. So a test that ONLY fails with these two tests is going to be 
rejected (PenaltyMessageBlock default at 50). IMO it would be *safer* if 
one more test is required to cause this email to be marked as spam. Both 
bayesian and bomb test are, in my experience, unreliable. So for me, 
I've gone ahead and lowered bombraw to 10. Obviously I can change my 
settings to my needs, but I'm thinking of safe settings (default) for 
new installations.
