Pete, for

sample on-off='on'

I wrote myself this note...

<!-- We can sample during a peek if passthrough = yes -->

... Is it still valid? Your sample and my own configuration have:

passthrough=no

On the balance of it, I suspect my own note is wrong, so it would be
nice if you could verify it one way or the other.


Andrew.

Subject: [sniffer] Change in default settings


Hello Message Sniffer Folks,

We're recommending a change in the default settings for message sniffer 
in order to improve our response times for new campaigns. The change is 
small and enhances our virtual spamtrap technology so that we see new 
spams sooner and with greater sampling coverage.

If you locate this block of code in your snf_engine.xml file:

<black on-off='on' symbol='63'>
<edge probability='0.8' confidence='0.2'/>
<edge probability='0.8' confidence='1.0'/>
<truncate on-off='on' probability='0.9' peek-one-in='3' symbol='20'/>
<sample on-off='on' probability='0.8' grab-one-in='3' passthrough='no' 
passthrough-symbol='0'/>
</black>

You will notice that your settings are probably slightly different.

The changes we would like you to make are:

peek-one-in='3'
grab-one-in='3'

Your current settings most likely use higher numbers for these settings.

Once you make the change and save your file then Message Sniffer should 
pick up the changes right away - you do not need to restart Message 
Sniffer when making adjustments to your configuration.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

_M
