Changing the BAYES_00 score to zero is not a bad idea on its own, but the fact that you need to do it indicates that your Bayes DB is mistrained. BAYES_00 should (almost) never fire on spam. Similarly, BAYES_99 should (almost) never fire on non-spam. If this is happening on a regular basis, trash your DB and retrain. -- Bowie
