I have just installed mail/postgrey to help reduce the amount of Spam my server has to process. I have been running it for a couple of hours and already I can see the amount of emails that have been rejected (using Mailgraph) has increased substantially. It'll be even more interesting to see how the stats look after a few weeks/months.
I have a couple questions I couldn't find the answers to though:
1) The default delay value is 300 seconds (5 minutes). How do I change this to a lower value? Can anyone recommend what I should set this to? I was thinking of using 120 or 180 seconds (2 or 3 minutes)
2) Besides digging around in the /var/log/maillog, is there any better way of getting any stats out of what Postgrey is doing, logs or reports? So far I have only tried this:
Which brings back a bunch of email addresses but no explanation.
Appreciate any help!
