Read the descriptions. You'll note that "bigevil.cf" exists for legacy or special needs. It is a delayed version of the filtering you get with DNS tests to surbl.org. 70_sare_evilnum*.cf looks for known commonly used addresses and phone numbers. 7x_sare_redirect_* are a host of rules of varying "strength" from triggers on no ham in the test corpus (updated more or less continuously) to lets almost no redirect spam trough but has a bad habit of triggering on some ham messages.
