No no no, this is not at all true.
First off, Spamassassin does not delete mail. It, in point of fact,
CANNOT delete mail as it has no mechanism to do so.
Anyone who is automatically deleting mail on their own with a score
of 5.0 or higher _will_ miss some legitimate email. Not might,
WILL. Even at a score of 10.0 (where I auto-delete my mail) you will
miss as much as 0.004% legitimate mail, iirc. (so, 4 messages in
100,000)
most good email will score between -3 and +1 in Spamassassin if
you've been running it for any length of time. Your message scored
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.4 required=5.0
tests=BAYES_00,DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE,
SPF_PASS autolearn=no version=3.1.0
So, a -2.4 which, last I checked was something like 99.97% likely to
be ham.
