I have already decreased the Bayes_50_Body rule from 5.0 to 2.5. I

I will start seeing some true spam delivered because it did not score
high.
Any ideas?

Don't screw with the bayes scoring that drastically? 5.0, even 2.5, for
BAYES_50 is a little excessive considering that it basically means bayes
has no idea if the message is ham or spam.
These are the default 3.1 scores:
score BAYES_00 0.0001 0.0001 -2.312 -2.599
score BAYES_05 0.0001 0.0001 -1.110 -1.110
score BAYES_20 0.0001 0.0001 -0.740 -0.740
score BAYES_40 0.0001 0.0001 -0.185 -0.185
score BAYES_50 0.0001 0.0001 0.001 0.001
score BAYES_60 0.0001 0.0001 1.0 1.0
score BAYES_80 0.0001 0.0001 2.0 2.0
score BAYES_95 0.0001 0.0001 3.0 3.0
score BAYES_99 0.0001 0.0001 3.5 3.5

My changes were done in the local.cf file so I am not familiar with the
scores you show above. Can you tell me what all the various columns of
numbers mean above? My BAYES_50 score was 5.0 in local.cf so what does
the above mean. I do not see anything that would reflect that BAYES_50
had a default score of 5.0.

The scores I quoted are, like I said, the defaults for 3.1. Whatever
you have in your local.cf that isn't the same as the above are thus not
the defaults. 5.0 for BAYES_50 is certainly NOT the default.
The four scores for each rule above are the scores for each of the four
score sets, 0-3 from left to right.
Um..do you really mean that the name of the rule is Bayes_50_Body?
There are a couple rules that end with _body but bayes_ arent any of
them. If you look at
http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_1_x.html
you will see all the test, their default scores, and what each column in
the score means. BAYES_50 means it doesnt know, and should be a score
of 0.0. If you have it at anything else, it has been modified and is
indeed the cause of your problem.
BTW, if you have any SCORE lines in your local.cf then these *can not*
be the default scores because by default, there are no SCORE statements
in local.cf. All default score declarations are in
/usr/share/spamassassin/*.cf
