The mind boggles.  How could the presence of "$$$" carry any weight
_against_ an e-mail being spam?  I understand the algorithm ran
against a large statistical sample, but perhaps some rules should not
be allowed to go negative (or positive, in the case of obvious
non-spam rules), leading to an adjustment of the other numbers.

Where can I find out more about the weighting algorithm?  I haven't
come up with anything poking around spamassassin.org (but I have been
known to miss the obvious before).

It's not in the version 2.11 production release, or at least I did a
case-insensitive grep of the rules directory for "meta" and
"frontpage", and both searches turned up empty.
