Practically all SPAM fails more than one test. This might be a time for a review of your configuration.
I am perfectly happy with automatically deleting messages based on weight, in doing so knowing that I have spent the time adjusting the configuration and keeping an eye on the logs. Example, last night, on a server I consult on, I change the actions to pass on weights 0-24, hold on 25-29, and delete above 30. But that is for that client. On my server, I hold 25-34 and delete above that. Now, to take that delete action, I have spent the last 3 weeks reviewing the client's held messages (initially, I held from 20-44) and made adjustments while looking for patterns and FP. Hope that helps, although maybe not exactly the answer you wanted.
