As I state in the subject, for some unknown reason spam is getting

I've been using spamassassin on freebsd ever since it first came out and
quite familiar with how to set it up. My OS platform and SA version:
freebsd-9.3px and spamassassin-3.4 with sendmail-8.15
Hrm. Not to be snarky, but if you're that experienced with SA then you
should already know SA is only a *scoring* tool. Something else needs to
take that score and decide what to do with the message.
There are many possible interfaces (glue layers) between your mail
delivery system (MTA) and SA. How you configure quarantine or discard of
messages depends on which interface you're using.
What is your glue? (IOW, how are messages getting from your MTA to SA?)
I need to get control somehow and wondering if I could get some help on
a small script that would force any incoming message showing a score
above the required=6.00 threshold to be dropped into the spam folder?
There are many possibilities. spamass-milter as Harald recommended is just
one. Custom procmail scripting is another. Amavis is a third. Etc.
Since messages *are* getting scored, you already have *some* kind of glue
in place. You need to figure out what that glue is, and figure out how to
configure its (presumably existing) delivery options.
