We have a utility to let you know how well a specific test does in our log parser (DLAnalyzer). The test is called the "Test Breakdown Summary Report". Essentially you can pick a certain test(s) and see which other tests fail along with them. This report has helped us eliminate tests that performed the same as other tests.
For example you can configure the report to summarize messages that failed "Sniffer". It will than show you what other tests failed on messages that also failed Sniffer. You can get more granular by even excluding tests. For example: Show me which tests were triggered in conjunction with Sniffer, but did not fail "XBL".
Below is the link for a sample output from this report.

In the above report you can see that out of all messages that failed the weight30 test 85% of them also failed SPAMCOP and 63% failed XBL..

I am testing sniffer right now and wonder if I need to run all the other
tests along side it.
I am trying to reduce my daily workload of analyzing the "spamtrap" and hope
that sniffer and surbl will do this.
Do I even need surbl?
Any advice in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
