Thanks a lot for your answer,

I've tried to custom this scores beacause they gave good result for the 
moment.
Our office in France only receive french email.
A few french email have some line with english legal notices ... that's all

For a few weeks with 500/800 messages per days I only got 1 message 
marked as spam by error.
more than 90 % of spams are marked as BAYES_99 (that's why I did not 
notice the BAYES_95 error before)

But I'm just newbie with mailscanner/SA ... so I will be carefull with 
what I do custom.

Thanks for your help.
Sam.
