Yes, it looks like a couple of people have posted them. (note: I don't do
this myself.)

That was my informal terminology. Current thresholds:

7+: "probably spam" - goes to a separate account and I browse through the
headers in Outlook daily to catch the occasional false positive. I then move
the valid spam to my spam corpus.

20+: "definitely spam" - dumps into a mailbox file on the server where I
scan through it every couple of weeks just in case, then add it to my spam
corpus.

(In about 4 months using this system, I haven't yet had a 20+ false
positive. I do lots of whitelisting, though.)
