Most filters can match substrings, few can do numerical comparisons on
the contents of a header. So X-Spam-Level: allows the user to choose
different actions based on the score. E.g. something like 

if (header('X-Spam-Level') contains '***************') delete;
if (header('X-Spam-Level') contains '**********')      moveto('Junk');
if (header('X-Spam-Level') contains '*****')           moveto('Suspicious');
