Amazing! Thank you both! I wish I had known about x-spam-score a long time
ago. It's a bit amusing that we're using AbuseFilter-esque rules to filter
out spam from a mailing list devoted to AbuseFilter, hehe! But hey,
whatever works :)

As advised, I have it set to 4, with "Reject (with notification)", so I
assume I will be emailed when something is rejected. I have some worries
that given the nature of this list, we might have legitimate emails that
are *about* spam and may get flagged as spam itself. I will monitor and
tweak accordingly.

Thanks again,

~ MusikAnimal
