    I have a question....

    Does a higher score reduce spam or label it as not spam?

    My web host uses spamassassin. I've been getting a lot of spam lately,
    so I changed the value from 3 to 2.5 in an attempt to reduce it. It
    didn't seem to help. My question is, am I allowing more spam thru????

    Thanks,
    Tom
