I just upgraded to 3.0.2 from 2.64, and I'm also wondering why 3.0.2
has overall lower scores than 2.64. After looking closer, I realized
that SA 3.0 zeros "score set 3" in 51 cases - just look at:

score DRUGS_MANYKINDS 0.031 2.734 0 0.000
score EXCUSE_19 0.056 0.357 0.021 0.000
score FAKE_HELO_MAIL_COM 1.303 1.972 0.111 0.000
score FORGED_MUA_EUDORA 1.510 0.054 0.496 0.000
score FORGED_RCVD_HELO 0 0.050 0.266 0.000
score FREE_PORN 0.794 0.023 1.937 0.000
score FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS 0.177 0.516 0.517 0.000
...

Version 2.64 in comparison always sets score set 3 to a non-zero value.

Score set 3 - the fourth score - applies when Bayes is enabled and 
network tests are enabled.

In addition, non-zero score set 3 values in 3.0.2 are much lower
than those in 2.64, e.g.

2.64:  score SORTED_RECIPS 4.299 4.300 2.696 2.699
3.0.2: score SORTED_RECIPS 0.879 1.155 1.759 0.887

2.64:  score DEAR_FRIEND 1.888 1.065 2.397 1.846
3.0.2: score DEAR_FRIEND 0.542 0.766 1.288 0.070

This is probably intented - but I just don't understand why so many 
syntactical checks are completely disabled or strongly damped when 
using Bayes and network tests together.
