In case someone shares my interest in hitrates, here are the stats I
gathered from yesterdays email:

Spam in XBL:
66%

Spam in BRBL:
35%

Spam in both:
29%

Corpus:
My users are norwegian, server located in Norway.
2212 emails was tagged as spam. None of the emails passed as ham was hit
by either XEN or BRBL.
