it looks good except for the jhardin corpus, which has a comparatively
high FP rate.  looking at the logs they all seem to contain other
strong spam signs... could you check them?

The "alerts" corpus is all political newsletters.

I've had problems before with these newsletters hitting URIBL because some of the organizations sending them don't bother to set up a proper website for the domain name that's sending the messages. Their subscription confirmation practices may also be somewhat iffy, which may be why they got listed on DBL.

I'm trying to work with them to clean up their practices. I am willing to temporarily remove this corpus until they drop off DBL, but I'm reluctant to remove it permanently.
