The ususal maintenance
First of all: mail statistics for September: it has been quiet in SPAM, compared to other months; a few slipped the filter, but overal, the number of messages has been lower than before, the number of valid messages therefore is relatively higher than before:

I save the logs – took the WASD webserver logs apart for analysis of web traffic that is attempting abuse. Login failures will be scanned; this action will be added to the daily or weekly procedure to get a feeling of who’s trying access, and when.
