hi ! I started up with an average over 40% blocked messages, and have now dropped down to about 30%.(do my filter-settings/keywords need to be updated?) Just wondering how much spam everybody is filtering out? /Web123 |

close to 100% :) we're a company with around 40 mailboxes, on average we received 700 to 1000 spammails a month, this has dropped to 2 to 5 after installing and tweaking SPF. Ofcourse we use authorized TO adresses, this feature alone decimates the amount of spam passed on to the mailserver. Add some keywords, some honeypot entries, MAPS and SURBL filters and you're there allmost. (i also added ip's that triggered honeypot adresses to the firewall)

On our server, on average 75% of all incoming mail is spam... |

ah, it used to be roughly 65-75%, after feeding the firewall with some spammer ip's its down to 50% so 50% are legit mails and 50% spam (which are allmost all caught) ------------- Anyone who is capable of getting himself made president, should on no account be allowed to do the job. D.Adams |

About 75% here as well. We host 5 or 6 domains including our own, about 200 or so mailboxes averaging about 8,000 total emails per day coming in from the outside world. One domain in particular seems to be a spam magnet, and represents nearly 150 mailboxes, which has really made our honeypot filter quite effective....it has recently surpassed the MAPS filter as the most effective filter for us. |
