16,424 spam email messages received in 16 days - spam_16000_in_16_days

Trinity338: 1% real stuff? I've never done the stats. That's way too depressing. I currently have 1400 in the spam queue waiting to be deleted..about 5 days worth…not even close to your 16,000 spam-a-nightmare.

Nutaroonie: try www.barracudanetworks.com!

sean dreilinger: hi nutaroonie - i'm happy with spamassassin and the other measures in-place. i would only be shopping for something else if the existing solution were suffering from false positives (ham mislabeled as spam) or false negatives (spam mislabeled as ham). the reason i posted this photo is not to complain about the spam filtering tools (which are working very well), but to note the insane ratio of spam:ham, presumably because my primary email address has been published and remains unchanged since 1998.

As Seen On Email: It's just like garbage really. One man's spam is another man's content.

stevenjgarner: Spamassassin may just save my sanity - I found www.postfix-tutorial.com to integrate Postfix with both Spamassassin and MySQL. Have you checked out any email monitoring tools that work with Spamassassin - I was thinking I might try to implement Mailgraph with pflogsumm I found this tutorial. Do you know of any other monitoring add-ons?

sean dreilinger: thanks for the links stevenjgarner - running all of that spam through my rented server with limited bandwidth and cpu, and filtering it again upon download and again in the MUA was becoming too expensive (in every way). i outsourced my MX records to google and they're performing my spam filtering for my domain now.
