My only concern is that after doing some checking myself with just
warn on weight10 is that someone that fail revdns and badheaders will
have a weight of 13 and thusely get held/deleted.
I seen legit messages fail these two tests. For example my wife signed
up for a newsletter for a software this weekend weight 13.
I received a letter this morning from Microsoft also a newsletter
missing Revdns if they would also have bad headers or something
similar they would also be held.

I decided to only put warn on weight10 and create a weight 20 that I
end up holding. Might consider giving OSSRC a higher weight so that
your OSSRC and spamheaders push it up higher then 10 or make sure you
lower revdns since it seems so many legit mailinglist/newsletters
unfortunately fails this test.

Just my $.02
