Well it is really out of context. That stat page just shows what how many emails 
failed a given test. It doesn't show accuracy. eg: false positives. Sniffer is a very 
good tool however it scores - at least with the demo rulebase on my system - false 
positives. I score it with 3 points. SA on the other hand has *very* few false 
positives so it gets an 8. No question if I had the registered version of sniffer I 
would have a better picture of its true capabilities.

wow I did not know that - I will research that info.

Yes. default + bayes
