I have also struggled with understanding what's going on, and tried to run some scripts to look at the database. If what you want is to preload a good reputation that will then be subject to adjustment, you probably want to write a program to adjust the database and say put in fake data that the average score is -5 over 10 messages, and then let it go. Beware though that txrep is per sender, per sender/addr pair, and other things (I forget the details), and so you may need to put in more fake data than you are willing to put up with. If you are putting in -100 and it stays, I don't see why that should be about txrep rather than just fixed huge scores for addresses. I think what SA needs is a welcomelist command that takes a score, or maybe just a welcomelist_mild that gives -5. I'm uncomfortable putting tons of addresses in welcomelist without dkim or rcvd, but -5 might be ok, enough to keep ham out of my purgatory folders (>1 < 5) while also keeping any forged spam out of inbox (<1).
