Turn it off for an hour? <g> If you divert spam on a per-account basis to individual spam folders, hack up a quick script to count messages in the spam folder, and send that data (broken down by day, maybe) along with "How many times have you had a legitimate message go missing?" or "How many spams do you see in your inbox?". > I see that spamstats as well as sa-stats both read/process/parse/examine > only maillog files I do not have a maillog file. > How does one create a functioning maillog and have it record the appropriate > info for retrieving stats? > > My setup is as follows > > BSD 5.4 > EXIM > CLAMAV > SPAMASSASSIN > > Currently the logs I have to record mail activity and spam data are > > Mainlog > Rejectlog > Paniclog Those appear to be Exim-specific logs (handled via its own internal logger?) If not, colour me clueless. SA logs via the "mail" facility of syslog (IIRC - I don't think this has changed except in the details of *what* is logged in quite some time). Check your syslog configuration to see where mail.* syslog messages get stored. -kgd
