spam blocking statistics

[Charles Mangin]

i've been following the latest discussion of the most efficient RBLs to 
add and IPs to blacklist, and wonder how you guys are coming up with 
your numbers of spams blocked per RBL.

i assume you're doing some kind of grep on the logs that sims produces, 
but is there a particular methodology you're using? i guess i could 
just run them all through bbedit's search function and count the hits 
on "spam" or "blocked", or something like that... if there were, say, 
an applescript someone was using...

i ask because i'm curious to see how effective my settings are from 
month to month, and i'd like to add something to my monthly stats 
emails that i send to my clients - currently things like number of 
visits to their websites, bandwidth used, etc - to say "this month, you 
would have gotten an additional X emails, had i not enabled spam 
blocking on the email server"

because with hosting, it's all about the value-add :)
