Hi!

...

Cool! Grep us some stats after it runs a while..... :-)

Ever notice when you're doing something to help kill spam you don't get any? Ugh.

I've just deployed the 3 surbls on one of my server for testing and of course it is the one I get my personal mail on. Usually overnight all I get, for the most part, is spam.

Some very simplistic grepping on two of my smaller boxes:

[root@fallback vmx01]# grep SPAMCOP_URI_RBL maillog-20040422 | wc -l 761

[root@fallback vmx01]# grep WS_URI_RBL maillog-20040422 | wc -l 845

[root@fallback vmx01]# grep BIGEVIL_URI_RBL maillog-20040422 | wc -l 204

And:

[root@fallback vmx02]# grep SPAMCOP_URI_RBL maillog-20040422 | wc -l 587

[root@fallback vmx02]# grep WS_URI_RBL maillog-20040422 | wc -l 607

[root@fallback vmx02]# grep BIGEVIL_URI_RBL maillog-20040422 | wc -l 126

With the current size of the SPAMCOP_URI_RBL list its VERY effective.

Bye, Raymond.

Heh heh heh.

I had exactly the same problem... My spam folder usually gets about 100 a day, and for nearly 3 hours after I implemented surbl I didn't get a single spam :( Seems like my spam comes in big infrequent bursts during the day, with most of it at night...

Fortunately I have a couple of workmates who get several times more spam than me and kindly let me browse their spam folders ;-)
