I had the same problem with the 5 setting early on too. My problem is that I 
receive many email from foreign users. The language settings were killing me 
due to the high rating (4 I think). Once I turned that test off my 5 setting 
has been 100% correct.

I would check the false positive messages then adjust the tests that are 
giving you problems. Either disable them or lower their score.

Setting SpamAssassin to trigger at 5.0 is pretty silly IMO.  You'll get
a ton of false positives.

Having used it for about a month, I have 438 spams correctly identified
with 2 false positives - one being the start of this thread due to the
example spam messsage, the other being someone asking my advice on a scam
email.   I can live with those figures (and it's set to 5 as well).
YMMV of course.

Cheers.
