Spam filter statistics update
The procedure used to gather statistics of last month’s Spam filter statistics has been updated, it can now handle up to 100.000 messages (well, one less), and it now shows the number of messages that have been rejected, or accepted, by server or user rules, so those that won’t be scanned on their content by the program.
With this changed program, I rescanned the files of September:
PMAS statistics for September
Total messages    :  10365 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted   :   1547 =  14.9 o/o (Files: 31)
Relay attempts    :   7655 =  73.8 o/o (Files: 31)
Accepted by PMAS  :   1163 =  11.2 o/o (Files: 31)
 Handled by explicit rule
        Rejected :    580 =  49.8 o/o (processed),   5.5 o/o (all)
        Accepted :    200 =  17.1 o/o (processed),   1.9 o/o (all)
 Handled by content
       Discarded :    104 =   8.9 o/o (processed),   1.0 o/o (all)
    Quarantained :    192 =  16.5 o/o (processed),   1.8 o/o (all)
       Delivered :     87 =   7.4 o/o (processed),    .8 o/o (all)

Halfway october, the result is:
