Ah. Could this behavior be changed by changing something in the config?
Or by changing the source a bit (that also a perl novice like me can do it)?

That is my lowest rated mail learned as spam (same settings as in the
original posting):

| X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=8.4 required=5.0
|         tests=BASE64_ENC_TEXT,HTML_30_40,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_04,
|               HTTP_USERNAME_USED,PRIORITY_NO_NAME,RCVD_IN_RFCI,
|               RCVD_IN_SBL,USERPASS
|         autolearn=spam version=2.55

That does not comply with your statement.

However: To change the behavior in 2.55, I just have to find and change
the value of the hardcoded variable[1] that controls the "safety zone"?
(Or upgrade to 2.60, but I rather wait until a deb package for debian
woody is available)

I'm curious about the "safety zone"... why did the programmer(s) decide
to put it in? Even if they saw sense in it, most open source programs do
let you make senseless configurations. Or, to say it in other words:
They not only let you shoot yourself in the foot, they give you an
assortment of guns already loaded and pointed downwards[2] :-)

[1] if it's not a variable, I have to look for something else...
[2] I found cite that on the net -- it's not from me ;)
