I actually increase the scores for BAYES_80 and higher to be sufficient to condem mail on it's own with a very low false positive rate.

I use the SA whitelist facility for domains that I regularly receive important mail from and are not routinely spoofed, so they don't get caught.

For other messages, good messages generally have some other negative scoring rules to save them from the Bayesian filter.
