Hello.  This is the first time SA is giving me enough trouble that I
need to ask for help.  I hope I get this right.

I observed a marked increase in false negatives in the last few weeks.
There have definitely been some increases in the past few weeks but as you'll see below, I think BAYES_99/999 is not the culprit except very recently.

Only today I had enough sense to look at the detailed scores.  And, all
the escaped spams have hit the BAYES_999 rule.  I grepped the site
configuration directory:
The BAYES_999 rule changed in the last day or three. I was expecting the ruleqa engine to score it appropriately and it didn't.

BAYES_999 is just a finer gradient on BAYES_99 allowing for a higher score on the top .001% of Bayes hits.

It'll be fixed with the next rule update but you might want these temporarily:

body BAYES_99           eval:check_bayes('0.99', '0.999')
body BAYES_999          eval:check_bayes('0.999', '1.00')
score BAYES_99  0  0  3.8    3.5
score BAYES_999 0  0  4.0    3.7
