Thanks for the heads up, Pete.

I use MessageSniffer as part of a weighting system with Declude.

I had 69 total hits on Monday and Tuesday for these two rule IDs.

Of those I had:

  27 being Deleted as very spammy
   4 being Passed as very hammy
----
  31 total not held

Of the 38 that were held, which I requeued today

   8 now Deleted as very spammy
  11 now Passed as false positives
  19 now Held again
----
  38

====
  69 total message hits on both rule IDs

So, out of 69 hits, I had 15 that were false positives (or spam
leakage), 27 where MessageSniffer was ahead of most of the blacklists,
and 8 where the blacklists subsequently caught up with MessageSniffer
and a remaining 18 where spam is just spam.

Andrew.
