That's -all- ? Here's a quick count from my most recent log; this is representative of what it always looks like around here. grep -c "clean message" spam.log | wc -l 288421 grep "identified spam" spam.log | wc -l 252930 Note that I block fully half of my incoming mail during the SMTP session, too. I -never- get complaints about missing mail. I'm very conservative about what I outright reject vs. let go through the tagger. Needless to say, I think SpamAssassin is the Bee's Knees. -- Charlie Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Frontier Internet, Inc. http://www.frontier.net/ _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
