The term "reputation" is misleading, TxRep is still basically a score averager. It moves the score towards a weighted combination of several averages. The point of score averaging is to bring outliers to the right side of the threshold. txrep_learn_penalty & txrep_learn_bonus work by faking the averages stored in the database, so that subsequent similar emails will tend to have their scores moved in the "right" direction. Otherwise TxRep acts to reduce fluctuations, which will produce scores of either sign.
