the bayes_50 rule mean bayes is only 50% sure it's spam, so it's been
given a zero score as a result.

If you really want to tweak the scores then edit the
spam.assassin.prefs.conf file and adjust the score values as needed.

Personally I'd leave these scores alone and train the bayes DB, or add
more rules so it catches more spam
