Can you zip up some examples and send them to me? I'm researching this issue right now and I need more data. Thanks, _M PS: A number of word / phrase based rules have been dropped from the core rule base due to false positives - not many, but this might explain some of what you're seeing - I will know more when I have some examples. If that's the case I can always put the rules back in for your local rule base. This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
