How can I determine the amount of caught/received emails with JunkMail?
It would take me an eternity to go through each log file.

Thanks

My first question would be "Is there a ton of spam being caught?"  If
you're blocking 1,000 spams to your personal account a day and 50 spams get
through, that's not too bad.  If you're only blocking 100 spams and 50 get
through, that's a problem.

If it's the later -- where a large percentage of spam is getting through --
there is probably a problem with some of the tests.  Does the log file
report a lot of warnings or errors?  Does the first DNS server listed in
the IMail SMTP settings work properly?  Do you have a gateway or backup
mailservers that run in front of the IMail server?
