My question is why is an email with an content analysis of 4.3 being

on this subject will be greatly appreciated.
SpamAssassin can't delete mail, period. If you want to do that kind
of thing (and deleting at a score of only 4 is a bad idea imo,)
you'll have to prod around Simscan to see if there's an option to do
it.
I am not sure I quite understand. What good is delivered spam.
I am trying elimiate spam in my office. Any helpful ideas on how to get
rid of it.
Well for one, it eliminates the possibility of false negatives being
deleted. It also allows the user to filter spam based on the existence
of added headers, altered subject, etc. If you want to delete a message
based on the score SA assigns it, do it with simscan, which it was
designed to do anyway.
