Maybe most spam messages already fails these two before the spam
scoring filter sets in.

No messages are being discarded automatically. A lot a rejected at
SMTP time, e.g. the sender gets "a message not sent" or similar from
his MUA/MTA (actually since there are 99.99% spam and the spambots
don't care about SMTP failures the error is not displayed to a human,
I wish it were. The rest of the 0.01% are people that reply to spam).
