For the general patterns at our site, that's probably right about where
I'd put it. If anything, I'd maybe consider nudging the medium and low
thresholds down just a bit. Here's stats for our server over the past
week:
0-4.99 : 35275
5-9.99 : 9212
10-14.99: 3432
15-19.99: 637
20-24.99: 188
25-29.99: 45
30+ : 41
What I actually do (using MIMEDefang) is to add an X-Spam-Level header
to the message that contains a row of asterisks equivalent to the
integer part of the message's score. That lets my outlook users pick
their own cutoff point if they're not happy with the default of 5 (by
filtering for, say "X-Spam-Level: **********").
