Can anyone at least confirm my belief that when I
run in debug mode, the bayes *is supposed to be* between 0
and 1?

I've just run several more mails through, and each
one either gets a 0.5 on the nose, or something wild
like "1073741825" or  "5.5456855864500381703780513521021e+239"
or a negative number like in "b" below.

The listing of tokens and their bayes values are all themselves
between 0 and 1.

Do we have a problem?  Any guesses on what causes the multitude
of 0.5?  How about the super big or super small or negative scores?

Most of our spam is not getting a BAYES_nn component.  It looks like
this is for two reasons:

a) most of the spam scores as exactly 0.5 (which is the only score
that gets no BAYES component, if I read 23_bayes.cf correctly):

  debug: bayes: score = 0.5
  debug: bayes: 27847 untie-ing
  debug: bayes: 27847 untie-ing db_toks
  debug: bayes: 27847 untie-ing db_seen

b) some of the spam scores with a number like this:

  debug: bayes: score = -2.71172928721008841549952206070871e+1133

What does that mean?


So my question is, is something wrong? What does it mean for the majority of our spam to get a bayes score of exactly 0.5?

And why do we get numbers like in b)?

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.
