Hi all,

        Following some off-list discussions with Kevin, John, et al., I had a 
question that was suggested I bring up on-list, so here it is:

        For whatever reason, many of the FNs I've been getting lately are 
passing because they hit BAYES_00, even though they are matching 
AC_SPAMMY_URI_PATTERNS.  I need to enable bayes tokens in the headers so I can 
see why these are considered so hammy when I know for sure they're not...

        But, I would love if there were a way to ignore the bayes score if 
AC_SPAMMY_URI_PATTERNS matches.  I know this is rather silly -- the whole point 
of Bayes is to help determine if an email is spam or ham regardless of the 
other rules -- but I'm just flummoxed by having these obviously-spammy emails 
being treated as ham.

        Should I create a rule that adds extra points if AC_SPAMMY_URI_PATTERNS 
hits AND a low Bayes score is found?  Or should I just make 
AC_SPAMMY_URI_PATTERNS a poison pill, since I've never gotten an FP out of it?  
Not sure what else to do about these Bayes-killing spams (besides wiping my 
entire Bayes DB and starting over).

Thoughts?

Thanks.
