[Cross post alert... This should have been posted on `talk'
 I had my wires crossed for a few posts which will no be posted to
 `talk']

Just recently installed Spamassassin and using it with procmail.
I have a test directory setup to test out procmailr recipes etc and so
far am just trying spamassassin out in the sandbox.

Running some of my spam thru and makine some adjustments, like
lowering the required score to 2 (default 5).  I was really suprised
to see this message get 1.9 score and only on tests=SUBJ_ALL_CAPS.
With all the repeates of FREE in all caps in subject and in body,
surely this should have tripped a few more rules... no?  If not that
then the word `sex' in from line...

All it would have taken is 0.1 more points to get the spam flag.
Seems like something here should have provided it.

Even with all default settings.

  Best regards,

I could raise the score, but all caps really isn't enough and could
easily be non-spam.  Shouldn't something have caught this with out any
special tweaking?
