X-Spam-Status: No, hits=4.7 required=5.0
        tests=AWL,BIG_FONT,CALL_FREE,EXCUSE_3,EXCUSE_7,
              HTML_COMMENT_SAVED_URL,NO_REAL_NAME,SPAM_PHRASE_08_13

X-Spam-Level: ****

Alas, didn't quite make the standard SA threshold anyway.

A fair bit is getting through to me even with SA.  It's the eternal
paradox -- how to set a filter threshold to eliminate noise without
risking signal.  SA tends to be conservative but it is still saving me
about 500K worth of SPAM-clearing a week.  I can live with a few 'd's a
day...
