Thanks Markus. I am using SpamChk with about 70 other tests. One thing that helped solve the fp problem was going to your weight 100 scheme. By adding a zero to every weight it brought spamchk's results into proportion with everything else.
I didn't want to mess with the config for precisely the reason you point out; some stuff was clearly threshold values and not weights, but I wasn't 100% on what was what and didn't want to break it. Here are the headers from one of the error messages your list server threw. The mails had no content. Only the subject you see here. I got subscribed just fine with the other link you sent me. It appears that this other link doesn't ask for my name, as that's the only diff I saw between the two links.
