The issue I see is the bayes_00. That says that it is very likely NOT 
spam. Try running sa-learn on the message, first have it --forget the 
message then you can learn it as --spam. That's my best guess.

SpamAssassin can only operate on tokens it sees. I get a few messages 
every couple of days that get values of 1.2 or so but are most 
deffinetly spam. I just keep feeding them into sa-learn and hope that 
soon their scores will start to rise.
