Thats strange today I got like 5 mails without a BAYES_. I mean look at an X-Spam-Report and you will see something like this: * 3.0 -- BODY: Bayesian classifier says spam probability is 70 to 80% [score: 0.7878]
Notice the number of figures in the score 78.78% What are the odds for a mail to hit 50.00% ? Normal statictics would say 1 out of 10.000, and I for sure did not go anywhere close to 50.000 emails today. Or are figures rounded before assigned? Cheers Jesper
