do you run manual learning? Keeping it only automatic learning can 
easily make things go wrong and let people think bayes is bad. 

If you re-train on those that misfired, you should get BAYES hitting 
properly soon.

(Providing you didn't misconfigure on e.g. trusted_networks or 
internal_networks. That could break SA very "effectively").
