I think a better solution or check-point might be to run any new rules (at lease ones that may be questionable) though a corpus test of known spam and ham to see how the new Sniffer rule functions. This is how the SARE and SA folks evaluate their new rules and determine an appropriate weight to apply to the individual rules.
Thoughts?

Pete, The only idea I came up with, would be to have ALL new rules go into a 6 hour "proving" category (=return code) before they are moved into their "final" category. By using Sniffer return codes, folks could decide to "trust" the established rules and decide to "cross-check" any new rules by weighing them against other sources/methods.
