Quoting "Scot L. Harris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Is it possible for bayes to add a negative score to a message?
Had a message passed to me that scored 4.1. The rules it hit on was one that adds 5.0 that I wrote and bayes_20. No other rules seemed to have hit on this particular message.
When I tried running the message through by hand it scored 6.1 but with bayes_99 that time. I think this was due to an sa-learn session having been run that morning so the bayes database was different on this run from when the message was received.
My assumption is that bayes can apply a negative score if the message matches ham it has learned in the past. Hopefully someone can confirm this or inform me how it really works.
Yes, the lower bayes scores (like BAYES_00) are negative scores by default. You
can, of course, modify this to your liking. I personally set mine even more
negative.
