Oww.
These three settings are going to give you false positives galore.
4.0 isn't all that bad.. according to STATISTICS.txt 4.0 should give you 0.44% FP rate in v 2.54, which is a lot more than the 0.08% for 5.0, but not quite insane.
As for the top two, well.. "severe" and "high" certainly imply that false positives should be expected..
Really for the "straight laced" type email account which doesn't get a lot of crude humor or commercial email, low thresholds work OK. However when you start getting into general purpose accounts with a lot of solicited commercial mail, jokes, mailing lists, etc your FP rate will climb quite high.
Really the "well suited threshold" is very dependent on your environment and usage, but I will agree that I'm kinda surprised his "medium" level isn't at 5.0 or slightly higher.
