Not bad really but certainly down from the earlier performance we were seeing (I think, I should have thought to keep actual metrics before DOH!). So it seems the thing I need to do now is look over some of this stuff about the custom rules and fine tuning the settings, figure out the appropriate way to have people forward spam so I can train the system properly and then start keeping stats on the amount of spam that is getting through. Along those lines does anyone know if there a script or something (I just thought about this so I haven't looked at all) that will give a per user count of how many marked spam messages they receive? Just curious... Thanks for all help :D
