That happens surprisingly often for me, too.  If you look at 
the definitions for the BAYES_* rules in 20_bayes.cf, you'll 
see that messages with Bayes scores between 0.4999 and 0.5001 
are not tagged.  When I've checked the spamd log for messages 
that haven't got BAYES_*, they've always scored somewhere in 
that range.  A surprising number of messages have such scores.  
It does seem a bit fishy.

I've had that happen too, especially for Nigerian scam mail, 
for some reason.  Running sa-learn on them should help.  That's 
what I've been doing.
