SpamAssassin and My Spam Volume

For quite some time I have been using the SpamAssassin installation provided by our provider to tag my business email account. However, only a few days ago did I actually set it to delete all emails that score over 10.0 server-side. Suprisengly enough, my spam volume dropped to almost a trickle since than. I specifically used such high score (which SA recommends for ISP environments). Additionally, I had reviewed all of my incoming spam over the past year or so to see if SA was wrong.

Good work, Justin!

UPDATE: So far, after almost a month of running it this way, I have seen no ill side effects.
