Hi David,
If your default is in the 5 to 6 range for scoring, we have found that
11.0 has virtually no FPs and 15.0 has not had any FPs at our firm in years.

In your experience, what is a good ‘certain spam’ threshold? By that I
mean the score above which messages are virtually always spam, no false
positives.
The default threshold for spam is 5.0, which works well for me. Only
very rarely a ham message scores above that and lands in my Junk folder.
Would 10.0 be a good ‘certain spam’ threshold? 15.0? I could then reject
such messages at the SMTP layer, without having to worry about rejecting
legitimate messages.
Thank you!
