Ran a second mass-check pass, assigning those scores (repeated below),
and with those scores,
* I had no FPs based on these rules -- highest score in any ham was less
  than 6.0 out of 9.0
* These rules by themselves, with these scores, correctly flagged 263 as
  spam with scores of 9.0 or higher.

I'm guessing that others could take my scores, adjust for threshold and
other rules, and use these rules productively.  If you score spam at 5.0,
then you'd want to multiply each of my scores by 5/9 (or maybe a little
less, on the theory that other rules should hit the spam also).

My own hesitation rests with that "and other rules" part ... If this
ruleset by itself can bring a ham to (say) 4.0 of 9.0, and that ham
matches 5.0 worth of rules without this ruleset, it'll then be wrongly
flagged as spam.

I am just about at the point where I can do a mass-check including all of
my custom rules, but I haven't yet figured out how to incorporate all of
the distributed rules in that mass-check.

I'm supplying my ruleset in testdir/spamassassin/user_prefs, and pointing
to that directory using the -c parameter to mass-check. If I were to copy
all of the 2.60 *.cf rules files into that testdir/spamassassin
directory, would that activate the default rules for the mass-check test?
