OT: question re. the Volume of unwanted email (fwd)

Thu Jun 19 21:35:45 UTC 2003

Not a lot to break; here's the script in its entirety:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash

grep -c mailer=local /var/log/maillog
egrep -c 'uce at ftc|reject|njabl' /var/log/maillog

A lot of mail traffic on my box is mailing lists; perhaps thats why
the graphs look so smooth.

  How do you get your mail delivery attempts to occur so linearly? :)

  I think something's busted with your mrtg script...

  Here's the stats for one of the smtp boxes in our cluster (83% rejection
  rate...and it's +/- 1% across the other boxes in the cluster):
