The spam filter by default defines anything with a "spam score" of 4 or more as probably spam. You can personalise the filtering rules to be more or less restrictive by increasing or decreasing the number of asterisks after 'X-SpamDetect:'.
For example, if you wanted to consider anything with a score of 3 or more to be spam, the rule would look like: 'X-SpamDetect: ***'. Decreasing the number of asterisks will result in classifying more e-mails as spam. You may need to check your spam folder more carefully for non-spam e-mails that might have been classified as spam. If you wanted to rate anything with a score of 8 or greater as spam, the rule would look like: 'X-SpamDetect: ********'. Increasing the number of asterisks may result in fewer filtered e-mails being classified as spam and more potential spam staying in your Inbox.
