It looks like you have it covered.

There is a complete list here that we keep up to date:

<http://www.sortmonster.com/MessageSniffer/Help/ResultCodesHelp.html>

I note a few discrepancies.

56 you have as Advertising - ?? This has always been ink & toner and
printing supplies... perhaps that's what you mean. There is no general
advertising rule group - most spam is some kind of advertisement.

60 is now Experimental IP rules. The gray hosting rule group has been
retired and subsequent to that the Experimental IP rules were split
away from the Experimental Abstract rules. Further, the processes we
use to generate Experimental IP rules have changed quite a bit so that
this rule group is much less prone to false positives than before and
should continue to improve. Most IP rules are now added automatically
through verification with other services and our own automated tests
and then verified by a human. All Experimental IP rules still fall
under the "One FP Gone" strategy where we eliminate these rules from
the core on the first legitimate false positive report. (Eliminated IP
rules prevent the IP from being added again except by manual
override.)

I recommend that since your current EXPERIMENTAL weight is 20 and this
group used to contain the EXP-IP rules which are now in group 60, you
should rename your SNIFFER-GRAYMAIL to SNIFFER-EXP-IP and raise it's
weight to 20.

I recommend that you rename your SNIFFER-EXPERIMENTAL to
SNIFFER-EXP-ABST. You could probably raise this group to a weight of
25 since it no longer contains the EXP-IP rules.

Hope this helps,
