Correct me if I'm wrong (which I'm sure this group will :)) but the local.cf rules have precedence over the stock rules.
 

Thanks Gary. Although I'm no SA wizard, I do know about the local.cf
file, and that its contents override the stuff in the default .cf files. 
I wasn't
asking so much *how* to make this change, but rather if it is a good idea
to make Bayes the King (ie can I trust the bayes_90 and bayes_99 rules to
make the call on my email by upping their values to something much higher?).
Do others on this group do this after they've learned from enough messages?

Side-question: I was looking at the 50_scores.cf file and I have this in 
there:

score BAYES_60 0 0 1.997 1.101
score BAYES_70 0 0 2.593 2.310
score BAYES_80 0 0 5.300 2.862
score BAYES_90 0 0 4.027 3.002
score BAYES_99 0 0 5.200 3.008
(I am still using SA 2.55, btw). Can someone tell me what these values 
are? There
seems to be a steady progression there, but BAYES_80 breaks the pattern 
slightly
by dipping to 4.027 (I am assuming that is the high value while 3.002 is 
the low
value). The reason I ask is because I was considering upping the score for
BAYES_80 as well.

Thanks!
