I use QiQ.co.uk for web hosting and associated e-mail services. QiQ

In view of the fact that some of my domains are increasingly
inundated with spam, I would like to reduce the SpamAssassin score
from the default value of 5 to a lower value, in order to make
SpamAssassin more 'aggressive'. However, I don't really want to
enable Spam Auto-Delete because I want to be able to check the spam
folder for false positives, but apparently there is no way to change
the setting without simultaneously enabling the "Spam Auto-Delete"
function.
Am I missing something?
Thank you

You'll need to ask QiQ. SA is only a classifier. It takes an email as
input and outputs score results, plus a modified email with spam headers.
I would also caution against lowering the score threshold more than
0.5 or so. There's a point where it goes from "catching more spam" to
"catching more of everything".
Thanks for your reply.
I already asked QiQ support. They asked me to ask SA :-)
Here is their reply:
/I will take a look at the filter but would imagine if that is how
Spam Assassin made the program that way, then there is nothing we can
do to change it, though contacting Spam Assassin for advice may be the
way forward, as we do not provide Spam Assassin, it is a part of
cPanel - both third party programs./
The question remains: How can I change the SA score without
simultaneously enabling the "Spam Auto-Delete" function?
Perhaps I need to ask cPanel support?

Quite likely. I am not familiar enough with cPanel to know the level of
configuration it gives, but my educated guess would be that it's up to
QiQ to configure their install of cPanel. It shouldn't hurt to ask
cPanel people anyway, even if it's just for them to say exactly what
options QiQ should set that opens the option to classify without discard.
