I know that it's generally frowned upon to actually "block" SPAMs (as opposed to marking them as SPAM and letting the user decide) but my company has some instances where we get things that are blatantly, absolutely, unequivocally SPAM (think scores in excess of 100 points without BAYES or any white/blacklisting) and I wonder if there is a way I can configure SpamAssassin to actually block (as in, return a 550 SMTP error code) SPAMs that exceed some ludicrous SPAM score? Does such an option exist? If not, might it be useful for the community at large?
No. Spamassassin cannot do any blocking or rejecting.
Spamassassin is only a filter.
You can probably configure your MUA via procmail or another method to 'reject' spam (bad idea), but SA cannot.
