378:1038 is a pretty good ratio, we're seeing something like 7:2 where 7
aren't tagged by Sniffer (SNIIFER-NOTFOUND) but which are marked by Decludes
other tests and found to be SPAM.

By the way, Pete, thank you very much for publicly posting the URL where we
could download FPSigIDs.csv so that we could work on recovering our own
false positives. 

I was able to use this information to selectively re-test all of the
messages detected by those rules.  That was 2,449 messages.  More than half
of those were detected as spam by other Message Sniffer rules, leaving me
with 1,038 messages that I re-queued in my Declude JunkMail Pro on Ipswitch
Imail.

For what it's worth, that 1,038 messages that did not trigger any rules in
the new rulebase included 378 spam messages which were then caught by my
Declude JunkMail Pro configuration.
