I've just checked and whilst that score might seem high, it's causing no false positives here.
Of the last 98,932 emails to flow through our gateway, 5,265 hit HC_NEWS, of which 1,328 were ham (25.2%) and 3,937 (74.8%) spam. header HC_NEWS Subject =~ /\bnews/i describe HC_NEWS News of new spam score HC_NEWS 2.0 Having rigorously trained our Bayes database these spams also hit BAYES_99 most of the time. I've yet to see a false positive with BAYES_99 and yet it's scored way too low by default IMHO. I'm currently scoring it at 6.5.
