This seems to work ok, but I am wondering why do I need the "score" lines. Without these lines much spam makes it to my inbox, and it is obviously spam. Does anyone have any ideas or should i just stick with this setup?

From the looks of that:

1) your trusted_networks needs to be manually set..ALL_TRUSTED should only fire for mail that has never been outside your trusted network (ie: the network you admin). This also impacts the efficacy of certain other rules line dialup DNSBLs.

2) it's odd (to me) that you need to jack up the bayes scores.. especially for the lower ranges.
Are you using network tests?
Are you using surbl with them?
The reason I ask is surbl is quite efficient, and it's diluted the scores of other rules a slight bit.


I'd also consider trying to train your bayes more aggressively.. If you've got spam matching BAYES_20 on any kind of regular basis, that's a problem.
