Possible to leave Bayes scoring intact, but not have it count towards total spamscore?

[sr...@abit.de]

Hi all,

I want to throw the newly built Bayes DB onto our mailservers, but for 
testing
purposes I do not want any Bayes score to influence the final spamscore,
but nevertheless I want it to become visible in the spam_report.
Basically I want to see how often Bayes matches ham/spam, without
it having an impact on actual scoring yet - because I'm fearing false
positives. So more or less just a test how reliable the current Bayes
DB is.

Did I overlook something in the documentation or ain't it possible
at all without setting all those BAYES_* scores to 0?

regards
        sash

Hi

Well, setting the score to 0 will disable the test completely
But you could just let it score 0.1 or even 0.01..
Then it will show up but probably wouldnt lead to misclassification if 
you fear that

It's not possible since the BAYES_* rules have no special meaning to
SpamAssassin.  You wouldn't want to set the scores to 0, btw, since then the
rules won't run.  Set them to a small non-zero value.
