I have seen one hit, and it looks like a false positive to me. Sent as a
sample to the false@ address.
 
Thanks for the heads-up, Darin.

Hi,
 
We've had a lot of FPs on this rule, and wanted to alert everyone on it.
 
Pete, can you look into it?
 
Thanks,

Darin.

It's already dead.
It was a binary rule for an image spam.

We had 231 hits on that rule from 12:15pm to 3:03pm ET.  At least 90% of them 
were FPs.  Since there was a broad spectrum of customers and content affected, 
I'm guessing there was an error or over-generalization in the rule.

Darin.
