[sniffer] How Many get through
I have a question I've been wanting to ask for awhile: How many spams do most people get leaked into their mailbox? ie they pass message sniffer? When I first started over a year ago, very few spam made it into my mailbox. But the past 6 months I get 60-80 spam emails / day into my personal box. Of course I'll see the same messages in my other mail boxes also, so it relates to a lot of deleting? Could I have something set up incorrectly? Or thresholds set to low that they are getting through? Thanks for any info! Sincerely, Gary Stark

Hello Gary, I've checked your license id (based on your domain) and it is not expired - updates seem to be working normally. Is your update script working correctly? _M Friday, August 25, 2006, 11:48:46 AM, you wrote: I have a question I've been wanting to ask for awhile: How many spams do most people get leaked into their mailbox? ie they pass message sniffer?

I've checked your license id (based on your domain) and it is not expired - updates seem to be working normally. Is your update script working correctly? Yes, My script is working. I have it set to get updates twice a day, at 0600 and 1800. I also have a log upload script for once a day, it looks like it works because I see they get cycled, but I don't have any confirmation or logging on the script, as I am using the generic script from sortmonster. I guess I may not have the weights set high enough to filter the spam? I am using sniffer as my primary spam catch. On my weighting, if it passes sniffer I let it go through, as I add points. BTW, I'm not an I.T. person, just running my own domains on a dedicated server. And about to give it up with all the problems, as my server actually got hacked a few months ago, and I was running BlackIce Server Defender!. The hosting company thinks they cracked the password as they use remote desktop so I can make changes, and my passwork is 14characters... Ag - Needless to say re-installing MSSQL and 8 domains remotely wasn't a fun process. Thanks for any help! If it would help, I could attach my conf file (without auth code of course...)
