i disagree. 
Rather then setting the score lower, you should set specific test higher that 
do match the spam specific to your network. Most of the tests are scored very 
low by default, becouse the default config has to be sane for a large amount 
of users.

some ISPs use spamfilters that identify messages as 100000% spam if they 
contain the word "fuck". 
that doesn't mean it's smart.
