The amount of backpeddling and justification in the thread is impressive... it amounts to "we screwed up".

Caught us by surprise, same as everyone else.

We've added an explicit score of 5.0 for BAYES_999 in our scores now, which should be even more aggressive than the defaults that others have proposed out there. 99.9% sure is very sure.

So apologies for the mis-scored emails. I've rolled out the fix to all servers now, so future email should be scored correctly.
THANK YOU. I knew I wasn't crazy. I actually saw the issue on the spam-assassin user forum but I did not realize you would have auto-updates on. Thanks for the info. I appreciate the honest explanation. I love FastMail and recommend it!
