Hi,

I am using the EFA with the greylistning function which is very useful (Hint: remember to do the update_sqlgrey_config from time to time)
I can make report statistics for blocked spam after the greylisting.

But how can I see the statistics for how much mail the greylistning is rejecting?

How can I see statistics for what happens before the greylistning (at the connector).
This could include number of connections/min, relay denied, number of connections/ip, number of dropped connections and so on.

I suggest you search the maillog and look for the string " sqlgrey: ". This string will be the message lines that tell you what sqlgrey is doing.

In my logs, I see the following:

whitelist: -> emails senders that have been whitelisted already by sqlgrey
spam: -> huh? how does sql grey know if a message is spam? not sure what this is exactly
perf: -> statistics
new: -> a new sender that will be delayed
reconnect ok: a delayed sender who resent and was accepted by sqlgrey auto white list
from awl: -> not sure what this is - is this an entry that has been whitelisted because it is similar to another entry that passed?

So, those are my guesses for where you can find your answers.

Thank you pdwalker.

Exactly what I was looking for.

About the Spam: string

I guess the sql grey remove and logs the greylisted mails as spam because it never received the exact same email the second time.

Maybe. If I look at the logs in more detail, I should be able to see if that is the pattern or not.

Or, I could look at the sqlgrey source code and find the definitive answer...
