Sylvain,

Now it is the Bayesian filter that is scoring your email.

If you execute (my SpamAssassin installed itself in
/usr/share/spamassassin):
grep BAYES_01 /usr/share/spamassassin/*
/usr/share/spamassassin/23_bayes.cf:body BAYES_01           eval:check_bayes('0.01', '0.10')
/usr/share/spamassassin/23_bayes.cf:tflags BAYES_01         nice learn
/usr/share/spamassassin/23_bayes.cf:describe BAYES_01   Bayesian classifier says spam probability is 1 to 10%
/usr/share/spamassassin/30_text_fr.cf:lang fr describe BAYES_01 L'algorythme Bayesian a évalué la proba d'être un spam entre 1 and 10%
/usr/share/spamassassin/50_scores.cf:score BAYES_01 0 0 -6.600 -6.600

you can see that this rule has a negative value because SA believes it
is not SPAM.

You could save the message to disk and use:
  sa-learn --spam --single < msg
to train SA.

But it looks like MS is still using the scores that were built up when awl was on. Can I disable that ? Is there a file that contains these score than I can rename/delete. If yes where is it?
