Tim, No such option exists in SpamAssassin, because SpamAssassin isn't an SMTP engine; it doesn't participate in the SMTP dialog. But I think most MTA server software can be configured to return a 5XX based on the SA score. Some plugins that allow your MTA to talk to SpamAssassin can do this, some can't. You'll need to do some research based on which MTA software you're using. Here's a start: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedInMta -- snowjack(a)fastmail.fm
