I wonder when this is going to be resolved.  They haven't released 2.60
yet, but from things I've seen, it looks like 2.60 is already obsolete
(spammers have already trained themselves to it).  When will the base
rule system go back to being a strong set of its own that doesn't
depend upon you using bayes (since that's not really an option here)?

It looks to me like 2.55 is still rather weak, but that's because
MailScanner seems to have switched to defaulting to use_bayes, where
the last time I checked it defaulted to not using it.  I've just turned
it back off, to see if that helps my scores.
