If the test fails, but the message does not hit the hold or delete weight. Not a perfect measurement, as it does not capture all ham (ham that hits the hold or delete weight), and misses some spam (spam that does not hit the hold or delete weight), but it is the most accurate and least subjective measurement.

Scott, HS = Test says ham, final result was spam. This is an inaccurate ham result. 'False negative' How are you auto determining that an email that was ham was really spam? Are you keying in this info into your stats based on your viewing of the email or by user complaint? Obviously, if Declude triggers and email to have action on it based on spam settings it was spam and if it didn't take action on it and it went through to your users it was ham. Thanks again for the aid.

Hi, I'd like to make a difference in the ways I score the varions sniffer catagories in Declude. I hold at 20 and have had the several sniffer catagories all at 19. As we are a school for tourism I score sniffer travel lower but I would like to score some catagories higher, at 20. If we have a false positive it's mostly in the general, exp-abstract, ip-rules catagorie is my feeling. Someone must have made a comparison of false positives against sniffer and in which catagories those fp's are mostly. Right? Which catagories have virtually no FPs and which should I keep (well) below my hold level? Of course all held mail gets reviewed by be, unless it scrores enough other points te get deleted (at 27 points). Groetjes, Bonno Bloksma This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
