      Microsoft maintains an internal SPAM detection and ranking system that uses an internal ranking called a BCL value. This rating is exposed in the X-Microsoft-Antispam header of every message. This score comes from both an internal mechanism and Microsoft pulling third party (external) ranking information.

      BCL Value Description
      0 The message isn't from a bulk sender.
      1, 2, 3 The message is from a bulk sender that generates few complaints.
      4, 5, 6, 7 The message is from a bulk sender that generates a mixed number of complaints.
      8, 9 The message is from a bulk sender that generates a high number of complaints

      Some sources call this an SCL or Spam Complaint Level.

        Emails into O365 have both BCL and SCL.
