Hi everybody,

courier and pythonfilter are working fine here! Thanks for a "always getting better" software!

Although pythonfilter and RBL blocking are working fine we sometimes having customers complaining - not very nicely - about too much spam. My perception is that most of these complaints are unreasonable and out of proportion. The problem is, however, that the customer only sees what PASSES and not the amount of SPAM being identified and rejected. Then, when they complain or even threat to change to some other provider I find it difficult to argue ...

I would like to be able to get some stats like - total number of mails addressed to some domain/mail account - number of mails rejected for various reasons like - identified by spamassassin - ip in rbl - failed SPF check - infected mail - total number of mail send by domain/mail account

I do not necessarily need the details but these number would be of great help.

There are lines like "New message for x...@y.com" in the log; we could count them. Spamassassin issues lines like "Identified spam" .. Could we have log lines like "message for x...@y.com rejected by <filter>" where <filter> would be SPF, blacklist, clamav ??

A unified format would help as it would greatly simplify the development of a stats program.

We implemented courier-analog but it doesn't seem to give me that data.

Just some thoughts.

Bernd
