A random day before we used greylisting: root@mag:~# bzcat /var/log/viruscan.6.bz2 | grep "code 4" | wc 282 4948 29875 root@mag:~# bzcat /var/log/maillog.6.bz2 | grep "identified spam" | wc 773 11595 83109 A random day since we've been using greylisting: root@mag:~# grep "code 4" /var/log/viruscan | wc 14 196 1483 root@mag:~# grep "identified spam" /var/log/maillog| wc 38 570 4112 I think you can call that "decapitated". -- Edwin Groothuis | Personal website: http://www.mavetju.org edwin@mavetju.org | Weblog: http://weblog.barnet.com.au/edwin/
