Or you could just grep the maillog file (which is what most of these
statistics programs are doing anyway).
Here are my counts for yesterday.
Clean messages:
# zgrep -c 'clean message' /var/log/maillog.1.gz
577
Spams:
# zgrep -c 'identified spam' /var/log/maillog.1.gz
670
Total:
# zgrep -c 'spamd: result' /var/log/maillog.1.gz
1247
What is rather scary is the amount of junk that my server rejects:
# zgrep -c 'error,relay' /var/log/maillog.1.gz
17576
The amount of mail that I reject at SMTP time is 30x more than the
amount of real mail traffic on the server!
