FAQ 3.12 might help you here:

And FAQ 3.13 is of use here:

You can do this by simply setting the two thresholds to the same value
(Filtering tab in the SpamBayes manager).  I wouldn't recommend this, though
- one of the main strengths of SpamBayes is the unsure category, and turning
it into a binary ham/spam decision will defeat that.
