Not really since this sender is already in the system with a good
history, and thus the AWL will automatically try to negate this
penalty based on past message scoring, and with other "good behavior"
(well formed MTA, low bayes probability, etc.), I still wanted it to
trip my high spam which is set to 6.

I do see the benefit of how that would work with the new "SpamAssassin
Rule Actions" directive though. And as you say, would only need a 0.01
to trigger it.
