Yeah, at the time I wrote that I was thinking it scored 2.8 points,
not 1.8, oops.

No, I'm sorry, these were all from separate emails. Sorry I wasn't
more clear with all of this; it was the end of a long day.

I don't think phishy/spammy phrases that are also extremely generic,
common phrases found in everyday language should alone have a very
high score at all.

Even 2.8 points for merely the word "xanax" alone, without any other
basis for consideration, sounds too high.
