Hello,

Would this group agree that requiring 5 hits in order to classify an email
as spam is too conservative a number?

I suspect ISPs have their filter settings at 3 or less.

Any insight would be appreciated.


I'm an ISP and we use 5 to mark and 10 to reject at smtp time (not bounce, smtp reject 551).

ISP here, too. I have the score at 5 as well. If I were to drop it any lower, customers would start screeming too much email was going into their spambox. We also allow the customer to adjust the score individually from a web interface.
