Joe,

If you're using the '-p' (passthrough) option, you can look at the
X-Bogosity lines of the 5 messages (2 false negatives and 3 false
positives), see what their scores are, and determine if changing
cutoffs is feasible.

We're always glad to hear glowing praise of the tool.  Thanks.

Regards,

David
