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. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Chan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 10:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Effectiveness On Wednesday, March 23, 2005, 12:47:12 PM, Matt Matt wrote: >> extra rules from www.rulesemporium.com/rules, auto updated with >> rules_du_jour. >> >> make sure the surbl URI-RBL's are active. > They are.

The rules above are SARE rules, not SURBL ones, BTW. In order to use SURBLs you need to have Network tests enabled: http://www.surbl.org/faq.html#nettest Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.surbl.org/
