ISP filter server, ~300 accounts. SA has processed 7071 messages so far today. 6034 were tagged as spam, and filed in per-user spam folders. 1037 were not tagged and were delivered as "good" email. Yesterday: 17809 messages scanned 15747 tagged as spam 2062 not tagged Stats for other days look very similar; mostly between 10:1 and 15:1 spam:ham. Ugh. :( Note that not all mail on this box gets scanned; I have procmail rules for my own account that file this list and several others (~200-300 messages/day) without calling SA on them. This also does not include messages discarded at the MTA level as viruses. -kgd -- "Sendmail administration is not black magic. There are legitimate technical reasons why it requires the sacrificing of a live chicken." - Unknown
