I'm going to flag this as a documentation issue since I couldn't find it mentioned.

If you want to enable outbound spam checking (for messages you are sending via Postal) you have to change this setting to be a positive number.

This is handy if you are using a contact form from a website, for example, as you can probably expect spammers to make use of your contact form at some point.

There isn't a recommended amount since your messages may be accidentally written in a way which triggers the spam filter. You could set this to 5 as a starting point and monitor your emails to see if it needs to be raised on average.

For now i will set it to 5, but my main concern is the SPAM checks shows "this message doesn't have any spam check" though i have enabled outgoing spam threshold to 5. However the incoming mails have spam checks results which shows the score of the messages.

Messages are only checked when Postal first sees them so the next message you send with Postal will have a spam check.
