The last network mass-check on ruleqa.spamassassin.org for Spamcop shows:

62.71% spam, 0.10% non-spam (97msgs out of 90160), 0.998 S/O

Which has a better S/O than the Spamhaus PBL?

What would account for the difference? - I guess the STATISTICS file was 
generated before SA 3.2 was officially released back in May and the last 
network mass-check was 5 days ago.  This would seem to back up the 
notion that SC have changed their listing process and made it much more 
accurate - or - the mass-checks used to generate the two sets of results 
were different?

Cheers,
Steve.
