BTW, it looks like bayes_90 has been deprecated. When I run a lint on my local.cf, I get:

Yes, several of the old ranges in 2.64 no longer exist.. For 3.x they changed the ranging a bit, creating some new ones, merging together others..
For example, BAYES_90 went away, as did 01,10, 30, 44, 56, and 70. However, 95 and 05 were added.
Basically before there was a lot of "splitting of hairs", particularly near 50, that was largely useless. Bayes 40,44,50 and 56 all had more-or-less the same score. Zero, or damn close to it. So they made them all into the new BAYES_50...
It would also appear that they found that 10% away from the extremes (10 and 90) were not as useful as 5% (05 and 95). I suspect this was all done after some graphing of frequency... In on my experience, the vast majority of mail winds up in 01, 99 or 50, so it makes sense to coalesce some of the other ranges...
