Subject: Any Statistics available from SpamAssassin?


| I have been using SpamAssassin for a year or so, and couldnt
| get along without it.
| 
| Still, I keep seeing writeups of Spamassassin where they say
| that it is 99+% efficient at recognizing spam, at least now
| that it has the Baysian filtering in it...
| 
| Well, thats not the case here, it does recognize on the order
| of 300 messages a day (thank you, thank you), but probably 
| misses on the order of another 75-100.  
| 
| So thats more like 75-80% not 99+%. 
| 
| Now the Baysian Filtering is up (I think) and primed.
| the dcc stuff is up...
| 
| But HOW DO I TELL IF THESE THINGS ARE REALLY WORKING?
| 
| Is there any way to get any statistics out of SpamAssassin?
| 
| I do see comments about the dcc stuff in the maillog on occasion,
| mostly complaints about not being able to get to a specific site,
| 
| but it would be nice
| 
| to know if the Baysian stuff is working at all,
| or if it (SpamAssassin)
| was having long term problems getting to dcc sites.
| 
| I dont see any 'flags' for any statistics, am I missing something?
| Even a script to grep the 'tossed' messages (I save them for a few
| days) would be acceptable, but at the moment SpamAssassin is a great
| be black box,- it seems to work, but it could be having real problems
| and I wouldnt have a clue.
| 
| Well, thats longer than I wanted the message to be, but...
