I realize that some score 0.

good, maybe spammers are testing default scores before thay even try to send it ?

 But that's what I received out of the
box from SA.

as i see headers you are not using spamassassin, but some other glues that use spamassassin

 I could raise the score on "received from an IPv4
address".

yes just remember not to make a single rule make it spam

 But is that really going to help SA differentiate "I want
your sex" content from a billion other emails that come from an IPv4
address.

spammers can use ipv6 aswell, it does not hurd spammers if you change ipv4 scores :=)

I guess I'm just really confused.

metoo...

 Is everyone that installs SA
expected to know enough to go change the scores on all rules just to
catch an Asian "I want your sex" blatant email?

one rule i use is you as recipient knows what is spam or not spam, no matter what score spamasssassin give it, that score changes can be added to user_prefs.cf or as i do now into sql with postgresql backend

That just doesn't
seem right.

and now you are not confused ?

And it's not just this one email.

good you are here to ask of help

I lowered my threshold
to 4,

you miss why its default 5 ?, reason is that rules in spamassassin is optimised for reguired score of 5, lowering it can be surprised sometimes depending of what emails one get

and I'm still getting way more obvious spam uncaught than
caught.

you have possible not latest spamassassin or rules ?

Some of my users are getting a hundred blatant spam (not
subtle spam...) emails per day such as "grow your member", "hard all
night", etc subject lines.

to know how to help more i need to get more info

If I raised the threshold to the
out-of-the-box 5.0, I might get 1 spam message flagged for every 100
obvious spams.  Almost NOTHING is getting scored over 5.

train bayes on relly spam mails, and aswell olso non spam mails so bayes know what is unwanted

I just want to know if everyone who installs SA is expected to go in
and modify all of the rule scores in order to get more that 1-2%
effectiveness of SA?

right now i dont know why its low scoreing on your system

I can't believe that is the case.  Is there
really not a single rule that comes with SA that detects "hard all
night", "grow your member", and "I want your sex"?

rule maintainers get not much sex, i could not resist here :=)

if you turn it into jokes i will give jokes back
