We're seeing about 75% SpamAssassin vs. 95% Sniffer (full version) on
our true positives. There's no doubt that the built-in filters alone
in Sniffer blow away a minimal installation in SA.
However, there are many ways to use SA, so a "comparable capture rate"
would be easily achievable--yet there's really no apples-to-apples. In
addition to custom RegEx support in SA, which we are not yet using
(I'm putting Bill's links in on the weekend, and I'm actually hoping
that Matt B. translates all of his filters eventually, since he's been
calling for RegEx), there's also DCC, Pyzor, Razor (only the first of
which works reliably under Win32, AFAIK), none of which we have turned
on at the moment.
Don't worry though, I'm not leaving the Sniffer stable. :) Having two
full-fledged content filters has allowed us to get almost 100%
accuracy. We're psyched.
