Corby, Personally, I'm a fan of leaving the generic stuff out due to the potential of false positives. Those of us that are using Sniffer in addition to other spam blocking mechanisms can afford to lose some Sniffer hits on such phrases because they will be picked up by other means almost all of the time. Including such phrases however would increase our false positive rate without a measurable benefit in spam capture rates. I have even asked Pete to remove some phrase hits from my own rulebase for exactly this reason. Matt Agid, Corby wrote:
