Well, the answer to that question turned out to be easy enough.  The data
this script reads matches its output:

http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?daterev=20140412
Click "(source details)" (it's tiny and low contrast):

      0   732221   123950    0.855   0.00    0.00  (all messages)

Those second and third columns are the numbers it uses, which matches the
numbers it alerted on above.


I expect it will be more interesting to figure out why those numbers are
different from your cron output.


Also, there wasn't a rule update on that day:

>From logs of rule version numbers:

2014-04-10-23-55 3.3.2 1585908
2014-04-11-00-00 3.3.2 1586244
...
2014-04-13-00-00 3.3.2 1586244
2014-04-13-00-05 3.3.2 1586838

So it updated around midnight as normal between 4/10 and 4/11, and between
4/12 and 4/13, but not midnight between 4/11 and 4/12, which was the day of
this alert.



I added this to the output of the script in hopes of easing debugging, and
re-enabled it:

  The spam and ham counts on which this script alerts are from
  http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/?daterev=20140414
  Click "(source details)" (it's tiny and low contrast).
  It's from the second and third columns of the line that ends with
  "(all messages)"
