How long ago did you download this program?
Becuase there has been a recent update to address long file names.

Delog only looks at what Declude writes in its log files.  If Declude
states the Message Failed, then Delog counts it as SPAM.  It is up to
you to tell Declude what do.

There must be a reason for this, perhaps you should look into using
a weight configuration with Declude.

Delog is only a log analyzer, and was not intended to compete with 
other programs.  It was created to help you figure out what's going
on with the Declude log file and your tests.  This will allow you
to figure out what test is most effective.  Besides, we have not
even charged for it. 


Any way here is an example:

Delog found 405 Messages, 92 of them Failed.  This indicate that
23% of your messages failed and may be considered SPAM by Declude
or however you configured Declude.

You have selected 9 tests for Delog to search for.  Out of the 9
only 6 of them returned a failure and out of 405 messages only
92 messages failed any one of these tests.

The following example shows the amount of messages that failed
a user defined test.  This means the same message could fail more
than one test, however, we do not count it towards the total failed.

       OSSRC failed: 31
      OSSOFT failed: 0
     SPAMCOP failed: 39
       KFROM failed: 15
    MAILFROM failed: 0
  BADHEADERS failed: 31
 SPAMHEADERS failed: 45
     PERCENT failed: 0
    WEIGHT10 failed: 56

Total Messages failed Selected tests: 92

The following example should give you an idea how Delog actually works
when reading Declude's log file:

MSG_01 msg ok   Delog counts this as message 1
MSG_02 FAILED   Delog counts this as message 2 and that it failed
MSG_02 FAILED   Delog only counts the test if applicable - if SPAMCOP
MSG_02 FAILED   Delog only counts the test if applicable - if BADHEADERS
MSG_02 FAILED   Delog only counts the test if applicable - if SPAMHEADERS
MSG_03 msg ok   Delog counts this as message 3
MSG_04 FAILED   Delog counts this as message 4 and that it failed
MSG_04 FAILED   Delog only counts the test if applicable - if REVDNS

Delog would report a total of 2 messages failed out of 4.  That's 50%.
Delog will also report the following:

Spamcop failed 1
Badheaders failed 1
Spamheaders failed 1

However, you may have noticed only 1 message actually failed these tests.
Delog will only count these as one failure.

REVDNS failed 1

Only one message actually failed this test.


If you need more information, just let me know.
