It analyses mail logs and produces three types of output: - totals (all/spam/ham) by looking at log messages output by a custom spamkiller that's immediately downstream of spamc, though it could equally well work off the Y/N flag logged by spamd - local rules hit counts (all rules or just the top 10) - local rules that didn't fire I also run it as part of logwatch to produce daily totals and the daily top 10 hits. If it would be useful to you, say so and I'll be happy to tar it up for release under the GPL along with the shell scripts, spamkiller and even (gasp!) write a bit of documentation. Martin
