AH. This is different from what you said before. Bouncing over 9 may probably
be all right, since such a high scoring spam is almost certainly spam.
However, bouncing anything over 5 I still maintain is a bad idea. Like you,
I hardly ever get FPs anymore, but I do still very occasionally get them.
Altho mostly on mailing list posts, not on "individual" mail.
