I'm surprised with all the discussion about setting ham/spam cutoff values
that no one has mentioned bogotune to you.

Read up on it.  It's a good starting point when trying to find the right
parameter values for ham_cutoff, spam_cutoff and a few others as well.

But you need to save your emails (3000 ham and 3000 spam?) to get the best
options.

All this is in the man pages...
