I have the same trouble following the discussion of new tests. Some of them sound very useful, but since I have many other things to do besides play with the mail server and Declude, I generally can't take the time to pull all the list messages together into a semblance of order to figure out how to implement/configure a new test and understand exactly what impact it will have on the system as a whole.
A good portion of the problem is that most all users have changed the test actions and weights, and can't just put a new set of 'default' configuration files in place. I can't even find a log analyzer that works to get the numbers on how much spam is getting caught. I'm sure new tests and more fine-tuning could catch more spam and reduce false-positives . . . but the whole thing is bigger than I can keep up with.

Sometimes I feel like there's another secret discussion list at a lower-level which I'm not privy to which these issues are discussed on. I hope that's not the case. Anyway I searched the entire e-mail archive which I have created since I subscribed in February and also read the release notes and I still don't understand what it is and how to implement it. Does anyone feel the same way that I do? When a new text is introduced isn't there some way you can spell it out in exact detail which files have to be edited and what entries need to be added to put a new test into play? Also, can't a brief description of the test be written up with a clear real-world example of how exactly it works? Perhaps it's just my own stupdity but I'm having trouble gleaming the necessary information from the resources (Manual, Release Notes and Discussion List) which are at my disposal. Obviously there are some people on this list who don't work for Computerized Horizons yet manage to "get" these tests right out of the starting gate. I don't understand how people are making these leaps in syntax and logic with the dribs and drabs and shreds of information that we are given to go on. Can somone help me? All feedback and spoon-feeding is appreciated.
