I'm just pointing out, *again*, that this should not be the sole
criterion. I don't think I've had any spam that's scored less than about
4.0 in a week or so: you don't need botnet to contribute much to push
that above 5.0.

(Personally I'd prefer that *no* single rule could push a mail more than
halfway towards spamminess...)
