Re: Spam Counts

[Ken Connelly <Ken.Connelly () UNI EDU>]

Oddly enough, the 18th was our high for the month so far.
Quarantined/dropped messages here:

01/16/2010     3189145
01/17/2010     3615568
01/18/2010     4154106
01/19/2010     2856038
01/20/2010     3282946
01/21/2010     2001577
01/22/2010     1872763


Those numbers account for 94-98% of the messages showing up at our front
door.
