No, I'm running 3.1. Must have been a bad day for
a sample.  The JP rule was #13 that day.  Re-ran the stats for
the previous week instead of a single day:

   5    URIBL_OB_SURBL  
                2110    
3.30    5.35   30.20    0.02
   6    URIBL_WS_SURBL  
                1787    
2.80    4.53   25.58    0.10
   7    URIBL_JP_SURBL  
                1752    
2.74    4.44   25.08    0.01
  25    URIBL_SC_SURBL    
               344    
0.54    0.87    4.92    0.00
  94    URIBL_AB_SURBL    
                94    
0.15    0.24    1.35    0.00

Spam: 6987  Ham: 32462  Total: 39449

Maybe the greylisting is filtering out a lot of the
spam that would normally hit the JP list.  I know it easily blocks
at least 90% of spam from even getting to SA in the first place.  Before
greylisting SA would process 60-70 thousand spams per week, now it's usually
less than 7000.
