I'm confused by your statement. (I'm also distracted by shiny
objects....)
When rules scores are formed, they are scored based off a large
corpus, additional rules, and set in the very moment they are scored.
Yes, that is the corpus I am referring to.
When that score is developed, how is it decided that the scores have
settled? When a "95% of the spam in the corpus got ranked 5 or
higher"? 80%? 100%? That's the comparison I'm looking for.
