Half an hour is plenty of time to show this kind of difference in
scores.  Note that both times, the message hit BAYES_99, but the second
time around it hit the "normal" SpamCop RBL, and a set of URIRBL tests
that trigger on URLs in the message body.

You may want to bump up the score for BAYES_99;  certainly in the email
flow I see there are often messages like this that only hit Bayes or
Bayes plus a few very low-scoring "standard" rules.  Checking later
reveals hits on quite a few RBLs - in the case of SpamCop and the
various URIRBLs, even 15 minutes later often shows a noticeable
difference.

Yep, IIRC.  But that's using a non-Bayes score set (don't recall the
exact details - see the man page) and even without different scores,
this would have scored less than 12 without the BAYES_99 hit.
