Forgot individual occurrences of FPs or FNs.  They're statistically
meaningless.

In last week's net-enabled mass-check the -1.0 score for
RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW RBL caused only 10 of 148025 (0.00675%) spams to fall
below 5.0 (and that could have happened with as small as a -0.1 score, I
don't have data, so at approx -0.5 the same thing could have happened).

On the other hand, it moved 101 of 199558 (0.05061%) hams below the 5.0
mark.  That's an S/O of 0.035 which is pretty good (we wouldn't be
questioning a spam hitting rule with an S/O of 0.965, at least not at a
score of 1).

Again, to anyone, if our statistics are way off from the reality our
users are seeing we need more mass-check contributors.
