Bad advice.  That would reject mail that has an html part (i.e. multipart/alternative), which is NOT the same as an html-only mail.  Should multipart/alternative have a text/plain part, it should pass (at least that part) through (other spammy-reasons notwithstanding).

Rejecting based on overall non-multipart message content type is better done in the MTA itself. (With sendmail, use a header ruleset.  I posted such to this list in the past week [all to sendmail.mc, to answer "tonj"].  If you use a different MTA, then it's up to you to figure out the equivalent.)

You should not hardcode the level in the filter.  It is better to use:

    if ($hits >= $rej) {

especially in the event that you later adjust your spam threshold in the SpamAssassin configuration file.
