I’m sorry, Benny, I *really* don’t understand that sentence. What’s
random? As Justin said, the names are not random, they’re hashes of the
string. So the same string will always have the same name.
Look at a spamassassin -D run sometime: you’re quite likely to see
__SEEK_ and __SEEK_FRAUD_ rules being combined, because the same string
crops up in both corpuses. The names of the rules will be identical
apart from the _FRAUD.
It is, of course, possible (but very unlikely) that a different string
has the same hash as one I’ve disabled. That is a known problem with all
hashes, and is inherently present in the naming scheme Justin as chosen.
