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.

Cheers,

Phil
