Whereas some of the spam polluting the Debian lists scores only 1.3 or
so. I'm currently looking into tweaking my scores to catch these, too, 
so at least I don't have to deal with spammy Debian lists.

Some scores on this message are nonstandard:
score HTML_MESSAGE 1 (default .1)
score HTML_70_80 1 (default .1)
score MIME_BOUND_NEXTPART 1.307 (default .499)

I haven't tweaked my scores in the last 2 months, and I have had only
two false positives recently (both were HTML messages).

cheers
