>I see that spamstats as well as sa-stats both read/process/parse/examine >only maillog files I do not have a maillog file. Thats one way to it. A better way would be to use exim and the eximstats package. That way you can count all the mail that exim blocks via RBL, sender verify and other tricks. In your ACLs when you drop or deny someone have your logs lines start: log_message = DENIED <blah some error message> The same for your spamassassin ACL, if you are dropping mail after a particular score. You can then use eximstats to show stats with some pretty pie charts (never underestimate how impressed managers are by pie charts) You can also aggregate logs from various servers to make a master report, you can even output data in .xml format if you wish. eximstats -ne -nr -nt -tnl -t30 -t_remote_users \ -pattern 'Total Mails REJECTED ' '/DENIED/' \ -pattern ' Blacklist Spamhaus ' '/www.spamhaus.org/' \ <blah etc> -html >stats.html rgds n Well I decided (with no logical reason whatsoever ) to just create (touch) the maillog in the /var/log directory, I restarted all my services- and low and behold when I came in this morning the file actually had data in it. milter# spamstats.pl -spamd /var/log/maillog File /var/log/maillog : from Nov 10 00:00:00 to Nov 10 11:03:37 Total number of emails processed by the spam filter : 1177 Number of spams : 858 ( 72.90%) Number of clean messages : 319 ( 27.10%) Average message analysis time : 10.46 seconds Average spam analysis time : 8.79 seconds Average clean message analysis time : 14.95 seconds Average message score : 11.87 Average spam score : 16.93 Average clean message score : -1.75 Total spam volume : 4230 kbytes Total clean volume : 14 Mbytes I'm still going to look into eximstats as well Thanks everyone
