Something that I've not looked at in detail (so this could be way off) but I believe that the GA is hardcoded with '5' as the threshold it's aiming for, and the scores it assigns to each rule reflect that. I've got a sneaking suspicion that all of us who are using scores > 5 as the "it's spam, bin it" threshold with the stock rule values should really be re-running the GA locally, tuned for whatever threshold value we want -- i.e., you should run it with the GA configured for a threshold of 10 to get saner results. Matt and co., does that sound right to you, or am I misunderstanding how this all works?
