(newbie to the group, so please forgive if this question is
inappropriate)

The isp I use for my private email address has recently started using
SA.  It seems to work 'ok', but it seems to still generate:
  * far too many false negatives
  * occational false positives

I am more concerned about the false positives.  Looking at the headers
of those messages that are legit, it seems that the biggest score comes
from the BAYES test.

Is there a place that talks about how that score is derived?  It seems
that when I have a friend that uses HTML formatting (or heaven forbid,
Incredimail) they have a MUCH higher chance of being tagged as a
spammer.
