They're all scored at 3.0 -- so a lot depends on where you've set your spam level. The "original" had a few typoes that have since been corrected. Before the "big evil" was released, I was using a portion of the original "evil rules" to filter mail for around 3000 customers. Now I'm using the "big evil" and getting better performance.
I'm using spamassassin 2.60, a few locally grown rules and whitelist entries, bigevil, and popcorn/backhair/weeds/chickenpox (some with adjusted scores). My spam level is 4.9 -- and I can count all of the FP's I've seen in three months on my fingers. Most of those have come from either the popcorn/backhair/weeds/chickenpox collection or my own sets. My users are still reporting a lot of spam--but now, I just take the links from their reports and add them to my own "localevil" file. I personally haven't seen any FPs yet from bigevil--but then again, it's only been out a couple of days. --jenni On Wed, 3 Dec 2003, Adam Denenberg wrote: > how agressive are these rules?
