Won't lint complain if those scores are in the conf file, but the user 
is not running bogus virus warning? I've just whitelisted this list due 
to the content of the messages. I also see messages from trip BIZ_TLD 
1.17, INFO_TLD 0.81, and LONGWORDS 2.96; with all three of those rules 
in SA 3.1. You could spend a lot of time chasing rules that are tripped 
by messages on this list. White listing is much easier.
