How many will my mail server handle per day?
How many? This many:
beastie# bzcat maillog.0.bz2 | grep relay=cyrus | wc -l
776
Rejects?
beastie# bzcat maillog.0.bz2 | grep reject | grep SMTP | wc -l
2381
UBEs? Infects? (*)
beastie# bzcat maillog.0.bz2 | grep UBE | wc -l
91
beastie# bzcat maillog.0.bz2 | grep INFECT | wc -l
79
(*): I have set up a pre-transfer filter that converts a great number of virus mails and UBEs to “reject” (450, and this will be sent again if the remote side is actually a mail server :-) )
