[Mimedefang] Performance Benchmarking / Experiances

The bottom portion of Ken's report looks like some custom script which
does some regex matching across the maillog. I do something similar.
However, the top portion is actually just the output of sendmail's
'mailstats' command.

To do reporting, you need to report the data. In my case, I use
md_syslog to write out Spam and Virus data to maillog. Everytime I
process a piece of email, I write to the log whether or not it was spam,
along with the message_id and score. Then you can just use grep to count
things. 


If($hits > $req){
md_syslog("debug","Spam Score=$hits, Relay=$RelayAddr, Msg ID=$MsgID");
} else {
md_syslog("debug","NonSpam Score=$hits, Relay=$RelayAddr, Msg
ID=$MsgID");
}

Ken,

That is an awesome report.  Would you mind sharing the script used to 
generate the report? :)
