I limited the max number of 's's to be twenty, just in case I got some
absurd score from SpamAssassin. My experience is that scores of 20 more
are always spam and I couldn't conceive of a case where one would want
to tell a client filter to keep things marked with a score of greater
than 20 and less than some higher score. I suspect that in most cases a
user is going to want to do something like (in pseudo code):

if('X-MailScanner-SpamScore' eq 'ssssssssss')
  discard
elseif('X-MailScanner-SpamScore' eq 's')
  fileinto Spam
else
  keep
