You might want to check out "man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf" and look at the
entry for "spam_level_stars" and "spam_level_char".

Just as when this subject last came up a week or so ago, I would think
"required_hits" would be more useful. Then you need only match against
"^X-Spam-Status: Yes" instead of having Procmail try to do what Spamassassin
is already doing.

SpamAssassin only classifies things as "spam" or "not spam" using the 
required_hits
setting.  Using the spam_level_stars with procmail, you can classify things into
more categories, such as these:

        1) definitely spam  -> send to /dev/null

        2) seems to be spam, but better have a human review it -> file in a
            folder containing possible spam

        3) doesn't seem to be spam -> pass through to regular delivery recipes
            to sort into the appropriate folders
