http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/HowScoresAreAssigned The short version is that as far as SA and the perceptron (that which generates the scores) are concerned, rules are independent.

Most people, I think, leave most of the scores alone, which is good and bad. FWIW, the suggested way to get the best SA performance for your mail server is to generate your own score sets from your own mails. I don't actually know of anyone who does this though. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: "These periods are always 15 minutes shorter than I'd like them, and probably 15 minutes longer than you'd like them." - Prof. Van Bluemel
