Hi Dirk, I've been using it on my home system probably ever since you made it 
available. Below are hit stats from yesterday:

Total: 279
Ham:   122
Spam:  157

iXhash.cf:
  Rule Name                     Score     Ham   Spam   %of Ham   %of Spam
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  LOGINHASH                      4.50     30     62    24.59%     39.49%
  LOGINHASH2                     2.50     30     61    24.59%     38.85%
  IXHASH                         2.50     31     66    25.41%     42.04%
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  OVERALL                                 31     66    25.41%     42.04%

Though it does hit ham, I don't remember ever seeing any FP's because of it. 
I'd say expand it, though again, this is just running on a home system with 
one user, me. Also be aware that the above count is cumulative over period of 
time (that I'm not really sure of) and not daily.

Keep up the good work

Chris
