Dan, Sniffer has made a huge difference for us. We weight the test a 12 and flag emails as Spam at 15. We only ran for a couple of months without it, but I watch our logs very closely and the benefit of using Sniffer is significant.
Sniffer is an entirely different type of test from Declude. It tests the content of the email for identifiable strings, phone numbers, URLs, email addresses, etc that will only be found in emails from known spammers. Most people on this list including myself highly recommend adding the Sniffer product. The Declude/Sniffer combo is a match made in heaven.

How integral of an addition to Declude.JunkMail is Message Sniffer? Does it make an earth-shattering difference in what your spam-filtering, does it just add an additional level of nuance that can't be gotten through the tests which Declude has, or is it just an entirely different type of test? What made you decide to add Message Sniffer into the mix for your Declude installation? How long did you run Declude.JunkMail without SNIFFER before putting it into play?
