Maybe you'd better check your numbers again. :) I'm trying to point out that these numbers imply a massive amount of "dark matter" email that is neither spam, ham, nor HTML. I'm guessing this is due to MAIL FROM commands that end up with all their corresponding RCPT TO commands rejected. These would not result in a DATA so there's nothing to spam-scan. If these are counted in %ofmail, but not in %ofspam or %ofham, that would explain the apparent discrepancy. -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer
