There is an automated reason why this guy's having trouble. Google could easily look up a text string they've stored, based on that reason, and tack it on to the guy's account. Something more specific than the unhelpful low quality message he's getting.

Anyone who uses spamassassin, look at the X-Spam-Status header in a message, it could be that terse:

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-100.7 required=3.0 tests=BAYES_20,HTML_MESSAGE,USER_IN_WHITELIST autolearn=ham version=3.002005

Which is much better than "too many points".

Google intentionally doesn't do this because it would help spammers game the system better.
