I have my Bayes score set at the default 3.5. A good amount of spam is
caught by my system using Bayes, SA rules, Razor, DCC, and Pyzor. However
there is an increasing amount of spam getting is getting through. When I
look at the headers of these particular emails, sometimes it might have a
Razor score and/or DCC adding a bit to the score, and the Bayes is ALWAYS
at 3.50. My score required for it to be considered spam is 6.
Should I raise the Bayes score and just make sure the Bayes databases are
well tuned?
Are they any other checks that I could perform?
Thanks,
Max
