Dear Sirs, First of all thank them for their help
I was out of the office for some days that is why I am taking up this issue recently. I made the changes I recommended such as: Add RBL Add SARE rules and SOUGTH Reducing the amount of SPAM processes from 20 to 5 Set spamc -x "not-safe-fallback" In Qmail add rbl zen.spamhaus.org And the result for yesterday is as follows: Total messages: Ham: Spam: % Spam: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7505 5218 2287 30.47% Compared with the statistics before making changes: Total messages: Ham: Spam: % Spam: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 11451 5153 6298 55.00% It shows is that the total amount of emails has decreased considerably and this has been for add zen.spamhaus.org to qmail. But I have reports that users are receiving SPAM emails I have some questions: - How to calculate the amount of memory and CPU used by each process Spamd? - Approximately 85% of spam are in Spanish, this can be a problem for SpamAssassin? - Which tool can I use to get statistics of SpamAssassin, I am currently using the script "sa-stats.pl".
