required_hits n.nn   (default: 5)
        Set the number of hits required before a mail is
        considered spam.  "n.nn" can be an integer or a real
        number.  5.0 is the default setting, and is quite
        aggressive; it would be suitable for a single-user
        setup, but if you're an ISP installing SpamAssassin, you
        should probably set the default to be more conservative,
        like 8.0 or 10.0.

That's from the manpage.

5 seems ok. Having something like 7 the first few weeks or
permanently may be reasonable to see how things go if you have
lots of users.

If required_hits is set to 5 and mail gets 4.9, it's not spam.
If it gets 5, 5.1 or more, it's spam.
