Once 2.11 is out, I'm going to do some looking at which rules are causing
the most false positives and false negatives, and I bet that will lead to
some insight about how to make changes to the rules.  If, for example, we
find that 40% of the false positives all were happening because of one rule,
then we can look at the genuine positives for that rule and see how they
differ from legit email.
