Here's a snippet of what I did for mine. It's not a very elegant 
solution, but it doesn't block all spam (only the most egregious, 
that is, SPAM with a score over 10. From our experience, spam with a 
score over 10 has a near zero chance of being ham).

###

# From top of script, exit codes
my $modifiedExitCode=7;
my $rejectedExitCode=4;  # I don't think this code is in the original script
my $stopFiltersCode=16;


[ snip ]

###

my $isSpam="NOT SPAM";
my $exitCode=$modifiedExitCode;

if ($checkedEmail=~/X-Spam-Flag: YES/) {
         $isSpam="SPAM";
         $exitCode=$modifiedExitCode+$stopFiltersCode;
         $checkedEmail=~s/(?<!\r)\n/\r\n/g;
         $xmailHeader=~s/(?<!\r)\n/\r\n/g;
}


# If the X-Spam-Level matches 10+ *'s then reject the message
if ($checkedEmail=~/X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*+/) {
         $isSpam="SPAM TO DELETE";
         $exitCode=$rejectedExitCode+$stopFiltersCode;
}


# put first 6 lines back on returned message
# put it back in the file
open my $outHandle,">$fileName" or die("Can't open file $fileName for 
writing");
print $outHandle $xmailHeader;
print $outHandle $checkedEmail;
close $outHandle;

# log results
logit($logHandle,"$isSpam from $from",$rcpt);


exit $exitCode;

If you wanted you could change the

if ($checkedEmail=~/X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*+/) {

line to be

if ($checkedEmail=~/X-Spam-Level: \*{$rejectSpamLevel}+/) {

and then set rejectSpamLevel to your preferred amount. (At least, I 
think that would work -- I'm not remarkably good with Perl. Someone 
else let me know).

I feel that's the best combination: reject what you know to be 
complete trash, send on the maybes to your users.

Have a great day, all,

Toby
