[BBLISA] nnrp clarification on limitations

[Dean Anderson]

I sent 49 messages in the last year. Very few involved SORBS.  However, 
rather than "frothing", my comments about SORBS have been factual.

Indeed, here is another SORBS fact: A group maintains a hand-sorted corpus
and compares that to various spamassasin results:

http://www.pathname.com/~corpus/NET.age

OVERALL%   SPAM%     HAM%     S/O    RANK   SCORE  NAME:0-1
OVERALL%   SPAM%     HAM%     S/O    RANK   SCORE  NAME:1-3
OVERALL%   SPAM%     HAM%     S/O    RANK   SCORE  NAME:3-6

  0.000   0.0000   0.0000    0.500   0.40    0.00  RCVD_IN_SORBS_BLOCK:0-1
  0.000   0.0000   0.0000    0.500   0.42    0.00  RCVD_IN_SORBS_BLOCK:1-3
  0.000   0.0000   0.0000    0.500   0.46    0.00  RCVD_IN_SORBS_BLOCK:3-6

All zeros. SORBS doesn't block any spam.

  0.144   0.1666   0.0074    0.957   0.52    0.82  RCVD_IN_SORBS_ZOMBIE:0-1
  0.164   0.1930   0.0163    0.922   0.54    0.82  RCVD_IN_SORBS_ZOMBIE:1-3
  0.029   0.0365   0.0000    1.000   0.48    0.82  RCVD_IN_SORBS_ZOMBIE:3-6

Now here is their hijacked list.  Almost nothing blocked there either. But 
they do block ham in their zombie list. How the is that?  Let look at a 
more responsible list of hijacked space:

  0.006   0.0073   0.0000    1.000   0.41    1.00  RCVD_IN_WHOIS_HIJACKED:0-1
  0.020   0.0239   0.0000    1.000   0.44    1.00  RCVD_IN_WHOIS_HIJACKED:1-3
  0.006   0.0073   0.0000    1.000   0.47    1.00  RCVD_IN_WHOIS_HIJACKED:3-6

No ham blocked there. 

Frothing?  I think someone else is "frothing"
