I recently installed the FreeMail 1.10 SA plugin and am getting a
ridiculous number of FPs. I haven't installed Regexp::Assemble but that
shouldn't make any difference in accuracy. Below are the FreeMail stats
from the last 10,000 messages processed by SA.

Any thoughts?

Are these scores based on hand-sorted spam/ham? Or is %OFHAM because
this is the only test that hit?

FREEMAIL_FROM is by nature a pretty week sign. FREEMAIL_REPLYTO is
generally much more reliable.

Nothing strange about that. It does what it's supposed to.

My last 64k messages say 94 ham, 11 spammy, 1309 spam. You need to have a
look at your messages. The reason might even be that you don't have good
enough other rules to push such spam over the limit, so it appears to be in
the ham category.. your statistics need a "spammy" category (for example
scores 3-4.9).
