If your "spread" is good and it's just the threshold that needs adjusting, it would be trivial to make a rule that fires on every message and give it a score equal to the desired difference...

What a horrible horrible mess if we can't! One example: All of my users have set their "optimal" spam thresholds to some number between 0.0 and 10.0. If the SA developers correctly shift around test scores, add new and/or improved algorithms, etc., and I need to take advantage of the latest, greatest technology and upgrade to the latest version of SA, then without such a mechanism, all of my users' spam threshold settings (that they had previously spent a lot of hopeful time setting) will be totally off the mark and are all of a sudden likely to miss all kinds of legitimate email messages! i.e., kill me! To this logical end, SA should be constantly/automatically shifting this midpoint back to 5.0 anyway. Joe
