<you are being warned> Cross posting inside (postfix + amavisd-new) </you have been warned> since we don't know how you did your calculations, we can hardly say. Unless you reject a lotf of mail, I would bet that your calculations are wrong. Note that it is not that simple to do the maths here: - if you are not using multiple instances, you need to correlate before and after the filter mail. good luck. - you should count rejected mail (but not reject_warning) - when mail is sent to multiple recipients, it is "sent" once, delivered N times - sames goes in the case of alias expansion - ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
