Nothing says it better than cheesy graphs ... or at least that's what that last PowerPoint presentation told me.

http://www.conninc.com/SniffervsIP4R_Day.gif shows the last 24 hrs of inbound processed mail.
http://www.conninc.com/SnifferLevels_Day.gif shows the overall effectiveness of the individual sniffer tests. Some names were slightly changed, and group 60 is still reported as greymail (yes, I know it was graymail), but you can get the drift. An m after the number represents a portion under 1. So 582m %would be read as 0.582%


Averaging ~2.5 messages a second, Sniffer fired a warning on 2.2 of them, while SpamCop (one of our most aggressive IP4R tests) only fired on 1.4 of them. False positives with Sniffer are virtually nonexistant (none in the last 6 months)! Our most hit groups are the Spam group (62) followed closely by the former Graymail group (60). I've got no clue what my sensitivity level is, so I would have to assume it is set to the default.

To any that question the value of sortmonster, it's very much worth every penny!

Keep up the great work.
