Maintenance – at last
Once again, it has taken quite some time to do the monthly maintenance. That is: checking whether the batch job has done it’s work. Well, it seems. I got the mail stats for September:
PMAS statistics for September
Total messages : 979 = 100.0 o/o
DNS Blacklisted : 340 = 34.7 o/o (Files: 30)
Relay attempts : 34 = 3.4 o/o (Files: 30)
Accepted by PMAS : 605 = 61.7 o/o (Files: 30)
Handled by explicit rule
Rejected : 148 = 24.4 o/o (processed), 15.1 o/o (all)
Accepted : 191 = 31.5 o/o (processed), 19.5 o/o (all)
Handled by content
Discarded : 75 = 12.3 o/o (processed), 7.6 o/o (all)
Quarantained : 150 = 24.7 o/o (processed), 15.3 o/o (all)
Delivered : 41 = 6.7 o/o (processed), 4.1 o/o (all)
A significant decrease of spam. I’ve observed this in the last month anyway. But still, it’s still a low percentage of valid mail….Moreover, the number of relay attempts have dropped to a low level. Could that be related to the fact I moved to another ISP?
Next, I need to install a number of updates, the last I made was about a year ago. So at the moment the system disk is being backed up, and after that, I’ll do the updates. They may require more time than I have available, it could well be I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get them installed….These were all updates released until February this year, so I’ll have to get the next ones as well. There has been some trouble (again) with SAID’s but it should now be solved.
I’ll notice in a while 🙂
