Nick:

Here's an example from my global.cfg to test the very-generous demo setup of Sniffer:

#               It provides content inspection. See www.sortmonster.com
#Note that the only value normally returned for our non-registered version is 0=clean and 63=bad
SNIFFER         external        nonzero "D:\MailSniffer\sniffer2.exe xnk05x5vmipeaof7"  8       0

#Malware & Scumware Greetings - Rules associated with greeting exe's where you agree to spam for them. Rules associated
#with dangerous message content or known virii. NOTE: this group is not intended as a virus scanner!... but it is intended
#to capture those that can be obviously spotted in order to enhance virus scanning capabilities on some systems... for example,
#our updates _may_ be faster in some cases provided we hear about a filterable virus/worm early enough.
SNIFFERMALWARE  external        55 "D:\MailSniffer\sniffer2.exe xnk05x5vmipeaof7"       99       0

#Grey Hosting - Domains and Tracking links used by bulk hosters that send legit as well as reported spam content.

#to us as spam if the links/sources etc... are from a grey hosting facility then we _may_ create a generalized rule for that
#spam within this group. Some rules end up in this group after repeated experiences with them which lead us to the "grey hosting" conclusion. 
SNIFFERGREY     external        60 "D:\MailSniffer\sniffer2.exe xnk05x5vmipeaof7"       3       0

You would of course set the weights to whatever you like.  You would also need the appropriate action settings in your global.cfg and/or $default$.junkmail files, e.g:

 
SNIFFER            WARN
SNIFFERMALWARE     WARN
SNIFFERGREY        WARN

I got this information from the sortmonster.com support pages, plus, Pete McNeil's previous posts in this forum.

I would if I knew how..; actually I do not know what "Group 60 " is or better said how I could score differently. Is it because I am only uing the demo setup?

Note: - I am *very* happy with Sniffer. Especially since I am only using the demo. Thanks for making it available!
