It depends on the scores you give each thing. I.E bayesian confidence
90-100% you might give 6 points to and a single rule onlly 1 point. But
if the bayesian confidence was only 5% you may give it 0 points.

Your question doesn't really make sense. The results of the Bayes examination
are rules based on the 0-100 spam probability.

If I understand what you're asking though, the Bayes system results in 1 rule
hit, whereas there are hundreds of other rules that can all hit, so generally
rules would outweigh Bayes, unless you change the weighting (score) of the
Bayes rule in relation to the other rules.

Thanks for helping. I didn´t understand until now. All make sense.

I'm trying to use SpamAssassin in a structure as such: Postfix + Amavis
+ Clamav + SpamAssassin. Will I lose much considerably in the quality of
my anti-spam if I not use the bayesian rule?

Best Regards,
