We're running a spam quarantine so I just have procmail call a script that just adds to a number in a text file (make sure to lock the file). I also track the top twenty spammed addresses and "Highest Score" (Usually in the 50's). Then there is a cron job that runs that uploads the stats to a central FTP server. On that server I run RRDTool and use Cacti as my frontend (Cacti really makes it easy http://www.raxnet.net/products/cacti/)
If you use a counter like that, something in my setup wants to convert the numbers to "Bytes per second". Just make sure to prevent that, or convert it back. I think bits per second works. Then I pull in sendmail stats for comparing mail to (caught) spam. Cacti makes it really easy to pull together the stats from multiple mail servers, stack all the graphs and present to the execs. I'm currently displaying: Total email received Total email sent Total spam caught Percent of spam to email High score (of the day) Average score (of the day) Top twenty addresses with running count (for the day) -----Original Message----- From: zenn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 4:47 AM To: Thomas Hurst; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] spamd log to mrtg I also removed the guage option and now i'm getting a flat graph... how are you all monitoring spam activity ? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
