Maia, if I understand it correctly, doesn't run mail that is above the 
threshold for quarantine. I don't like checking the maia web page all 
the time, so I only send high scores for quarantine. The rest pass to 
me. That lets me set a much lower (2.7) threshold for mail. The result 
is that my Junk folder collects the stuff that has some chance of being 
valid mail. I've been doing this for years and it works.
