I would say that 4.5 is a bit generous, personally, but then I don't get
a huge amount of unsolicited email.

I use the [black|white]lists and have a threshold of 3. The only thing
that is a bother at the moment is the image spam that is slipping
through, and I have been using Thunderbird's filters to grab that by the
'multipart/related;' content type with a reasonable degree of success.
