Chris,

This is actually working as designed. According to the comments in the
code, the OVERALL numbers are "number of spams hit by the file, not just
number of rule hits". In other words, since some spam hit multiple rules
in the same .cf file, this is a count of the number of unique hits to
that whole set of rules.

In your first example, of the 8 messages that hit FREEMAIL_FROM, 2 of
them also hit the FREEMAIL_REPLYTO from the same .cf file, so the total
is 8 not 10.

Thanks Bill, see I said I wasn't any good with scripts, and I guess I should
have read the comments.
