| 	score=-9	
| 3	required	
| spam	autolearn=not	
| -9.00	BAYES_00	Bayesian spam probability is 0 to 1%

First off. The output of mailwatch is not the best way to quote the
results. The output is rather ackward.

Then there is the value you have assigned to a bayesian score of 0. That
is rather high.

My guess is that you have a very poor bayesian database that does not
match your traffic. WWhich is not unlekely if it was not properly trained.

I suggest you educate it by feeding it SPAM and HAM messages.
