Bouncing at 5 is going to result in a significant number of legit 
messages being bounced.  Note that the SpamAssassin developers very 
strongly recommend against bouncing *at all,* (though some of us 
still do it :-) ).  Our MD/SA setup bounces at 10 and includes spam 
score headers for everything else, which still rejects the vast 
majority of the spam, while allowing through the marginal false-
positives (which tend to cluster very close to 5).
