I'm getting flooded with spam emails to the point that it's >hard to find my actual legitimate emails in my inbox... thank you!!! Are you hitting the URIBL_BLOCKED rule? If so, please follow the link in that reddit article to get rid of that rule hit. This is very important. Minor scoring differences are to be expected based on the passing of time and RBL listing changes but if you are hitting the URIBL_ BLOCKED rule then basically RBLs are not working properly. What MTA are you using? It's best to fine tune the MTA to do RBL checks that will block the majority of the spam/junk before it reaches SA. Make sure you are using zen.spamhaus.org and b.barracudacentral.org RBLs at a minimum. If you are using Postfix, enable postscreen and refer to the SA mailing list archives to posts that reference senderscore.org which is another valuable RBL best used in a weighting fashion with postscreen.
