I like the new URL black lists in SA so much I gave them all 4 points each
(but do that at your own risk). Bayes is even doing better now as a result
of the better auto-learning with the URL black lists. I also now give Bayes
99 (5) points (all other bayes points are default or less) and no false
positives yet on bayes 99.

I don't know my exact hit rate with the new SA but, I would say it has to be
the very HIGH 90s. I am still impressed every day I see it in action.

With URL black lists this new SA is the best thing going.

If SURBLs are active you should be detecting at least 90% of
spams (more like 99+%).  The rules above are SARE rules, not
SURBL ones, BTW.

In order to use SURBLs you need to have Network tests enabled:
