Probably not... If you've followed Steves instructions to the letter,
you should be fine.
And you likely were already (I see Bayes scoring in the above
excerpts... you wouldn't get that if Bayes wasn't willing to play).
Steves changes are mainly to make sure sa-learn works from the
MailWatch interface (should you need to use it).
I think you'll find that if you (can) add in the digest tests (I don't
see them above... Might perhaps be there but not contributing any
points), and perhaps a modicum of tweaks to the existing rules and
perhaps some extra rules ... you'll get rather good precision. Look in
the wiki (http://wiki.mailscanner.info) for how to get/enable
razor2/pyzor/DCC. Note that only pyzor is really  "squeaky-free":-).
