Hi Matt:
>> Second, Sniffer does cross checking

Which means once THEY see a URL they use SURBL
to RESEARCH it.
Obviously, that leaves any URLs that THEY have
not yet seen (both other people have). There are an unknown number of
URLs in SURBL that Sniffer has not yet encountered, thus couldn't
research it...
As far as something being wrong... You are
entitled to your opinion.
Sniffer is working great here - but it's not
100% effective in my environment. I'm happy it is in your's and that
you don't need to run any other tests.
My declude is set up so that any message that
fails a combination of OTHER tests but didn't fail SNIFFER get's a
certain header flag, which then get "flagged" in Outlook for easy
recognition. And just for my personal mailbox alone, I probably see 5
to 10 messages each day that Sniffer did NOT yet tag. I have no reason
to get into an argument with you. Whether you doubt my experience or
not - but it doesn't change MY experience.
Best Regards

Let me re-summarize because I think that both you and Andy
misunderstood different elements of what I said.
First, Sniffer doesn't miss 11% of spam unless there was something
wrong. The stats provided were likely inaccurate for one reason or
another.
Second, Sniffer does cross checking with SURBL for creating new rules
of certain types, though I'm not sure what the totality of the lists
used. One should be aware of the potential of double hitting based on
pretty much the same data and weight accordingly.

My fault for mixing up names in this case. I was thinking about the
combined URIBL zone and not your version of the checker. The issue that
I was really intending to speak to was the combined zone
(multi.surbl.org) that some people are using over SURBL alone.
Multi is a bit-masked URIBL. It will return a single response for a single
test match or multiple test match. The only difference in using multi
versus the individual tests is a single query versus multiple. If you don't
want to use all of the tests available via multi, don't define them all.
