My mail server does primary MX for a couple of small domains (5 or so people) and relays a few domains for friends to gmail.
I've been doing some crude graphing for the last couple of years based on specific text entries in Exim's log:
http://cmsj.net/stats/mail.png http://cmsj.net/stats/mail.png
Note: I moved the mail delivery to a new machine about 3 weeks ago which might have upset things, but the spam levels had collapsed before that. I'm somewhat tempted to filter out the peak level because it hides so much nuance in the rest of the graph.
- cmsj 16y agohit post too early...other notes: - yes, I do sender verification. no, I am not prepared to debate it with you, live with it ;) - I've always been a bit surprised that there aren't more malware rejections. Either ClamAV sucks or people aren't trying very hard to give me viruses. - I find it interesting that the 'blunderbus' approach of sending to all imaginable addresses (i.e. the blue section of the graph) has diminished significantly over time.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y ago> hit post too early ... You know you can edit for up to 2 hours ...
- cmsj 16y agoI did not know that! Unfortunately I missed it this time, but I will do that next time :)
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoOddly, that's what the "edit" link means next to your item or reply when you've first submitted it. Lots of people miss it, not least because people often don't check what they've written. <fx: grin>
