Ok here is what I think happened for me at least.. I didnt have enough
SPAM in my bayesian filter as the sa-learn --dump magic only showed 155
spam messages. I thought I had feed it a lot more but I think that it
had 'forgotten' some. I noticed that a lot of tests have a weight of 0
when Bayes is turned on so I think spamassassin was not giving it the
full weight it should.

However, since I have shown that I only know how to compile these things
and not set them up.. I am probably still on crack.
