I've recently been battling spam issues on our server. One account in particular was getting hammered with incoming spam. SpamAssassin's memory use is one of our concerns.
What I've done is enable RBLs in Exim. I now see many rejection notices in the Exim log based on the various RBLs, which is good.
However, when I run Eximstats, the email volume seem to be the same as they were prior to the enabling of the RBLs. I am assuming because the email is still logged in some way prior to the rejection. Is that what's happening, or am I missing something else?
Does anyone know if these emails are rejected prior to being processed by SpamAssassin? Or does anyone know how I'd be able to find out? Is there a standard way to generate SpamAssassin stats, similar to Eximstats, so that I could compare the numbers?
Thank you for your time and any advice.
