Here are some metrics for you, logs run from the start of the year: # Number of successful connections grep "H=" /var/log/exim4/mainlog | wc -l 26046 # Spam messages as scored over 2.0 by SA grep "Spam message" /var/log/exim4/mainlog | wc -l 38 # Messages blocked by Spamhaus grep "zen.spamhaus.org" /var/log/exim4/mainlog | wc -l 710 Connection attempts blocked by Fail2Ban IMAP: 52361 Exim: 24395 Exim+: 7545 The last one is my own exim rules and catches honey-pot addresses, previous spam hosts, previous spamhaus catches, and SPF hard fails. It's purpose is mostly to keep my logs cleaner.
