Yes I have Bayes on.

One of the issues is we have a domain which people commonly use as a bogus
from address when filling out forms, the other is similar In that the same
domain is used fraudulently as a from address for quite a bit of spam :-(

That surprises me.  I get almost no false positives at all, much less with
scores that
high.  Are you using SpamAssassin 2.60?  Do you have the Bayes checks turned
on?  Bayes will often lower the scores of an otherwise spam-like message.
