Can you explain how to read the chart? As I understand it, of the messages
identified by the XBL as from a spam source, 100% were classified by
Spamassassin as spam, and of the messages Spamassassin thought were OK, 1%
were on the XBL list. But I get a fair amount of spam with Spamassassin
scores of 4 or less, so it wouldn't be right to call it an error rate of
1%, would it? And what are the other 4 numbers?
