 Looks like it settled down to only a 6x increase over 24 
 hours.  Seems to be sustained, though...across all domains.
 
 Good thing is with some simple tweaks we're not seeing any 
 more than normal slip through, so our catch rate looks to be 
 99.5% or betterand no more false positives than normal, 
 so that % goes down correspondingly.to well under 0.5% of 
 held or deleted potential spambut it's still a lot more 
 to review manually...we'll probably quit that if it keeps up 
 much longer.
 
 I see the spike never really materialized on your end.  
 Anyone else see a spike in zombie spam?

Very telling graphic on the trends.  What do you use to analyze your logs?

We're probably small enough that our statistics are much less representative
of the overall picture.  It seems to be settling down a little bit.  We're
now only at about double the normal load.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 10-fold increase in spam today

2004-11-19 Thread Markus Gufler
A daily running vbscript parsing values from declude's delog.exe and
counting files in the spam  virus hold folder. The script stores the
gathered values in a SQL-table. Then a MS Excel table connects trough an SQL
query to the database and creates the diagram.

Not very performant but it's doing his job.

Pete McNeils MDLP it's doing part of this job in a similar way by processing
decludes junkmail logfile. The resulting csv files can be imported also to a
SQL-table and elaborated then in many different ways.

Unfortunately there is no justdoit.exe for this. Maybe when God will give me
some additional hors per day ;-)

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] 10-fold increase in spam today

2004-11-19 Thread Darin Cox
It certainly does the job.

I started a parser to grab all of the info months ago on tests failed,
whitelisting, and spam/virus counts, but just haven't had time to get back
to it yet to finish.

Maybe if we all pray for days to be extended to 28-30 hours we'll get an
answer grin.  Take 2 hours out of that for a little sleep and we still
have an extra 2-4 hours/day...

Darin.
