Monthly maintenance
Nothing weird noticed by the automated job. Even spam statistics aren’t reason for concern:
PMAS statistics for February
Total messages    :   1150 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted   :      0 =    .0 o/o (Files:  0)
Relay attempts    :    145 =  12.6 o/o (Files: 28)
Accepted by PMAS  :   1005 =  87.3 o/o (Files: 28)
  Handled by explicit rule
         Rejected :    458 =  45.5 o/o (processed),  39.8 o/o (all)
         Accepted :    211 =  20.9 o/o (processed),  18.3 o/o (all)
  Handled by content
        Discarded :    163 =  16.2 o/o (processed),  14.1 o/o (all)
     Quarantained :    142 =  14.1 o/o (processed),  12.3 o/o (all)
        Delivered :     31 =   3.0 o/o (processed),   2.6 o/o (all)

Of course there have been some attempts but since 163.com (a notorious Chinese source of spam, relay-attempts and hacking attempts – both web and FTP) has been denied access alltogether (it won’t even get passed the router) there haven’t been many. Plus some other (mainly Chinese) sources…
The number of quarantained and discarded messaged – based on rule, are to be considered valid, so I could lat them pass. It requires some action for which I don’t take always time to enter the data into the filter; maybe I should.
