Thank you all for your quick responses and suggestions. I went ahead and
adjusted the threshold from 3.00 to 5.00. I'll continue to monitor how the

Thanks again for your help.

The method I use, and it works pretty well, I am not aware of any false positives and get very few false negatives:

If a mail scores 5 points or more, my MTA replaces the body of the message.

If a mail scores 10 points or more, my MTA rejects the message completely (via a milter). If a mail scores 8 points or more, my MUA moves the message to the Spam folder. My email address gets pounded by 100+ spam a day and I get very good results.
