Introduction

[2004-06-19] At the moment I cannot do the spam stats at all, because the stats tool uses all memory and then crashes - I need to rewrite it to not keep everything in memory :/
I got about 27005 spams in 14 days from 25.5. - 9.6 - that's 1900 per day. Today I got even way over 5000 spams per day! Help!

This page is an attempt to visualize the spam amounts I get. It was automatically created by Mail::Graph , a Perl module which can be found on CPAN.
Please see here for detailed explanations about the data presented here and how it all works.

The site is not complete yet, I am still working on it. If you have any comments, or want the script to generate these pages, please email me.

Statistics

Spams are skipped due to two reasons:

• Either they have a garbled From line, like an invalid date
• or they are double-bounces, e.g. a bounce from the mailer-daemon to notify the sender of the alleged spam bounced again back with an error message. Most of the times the spammers use invalid or forged addresses, and usually the other side is quickly filled with all the bounces and complains, thus double-bounces occur frequently.

Per Target Address

 
Please note that a lot of these addresses don't exist, but the spammers tried to deliver mail to them, nonetheless. Especially noteworthy are the combinations of the whois_dummy and gimp_dummy addresses. Most of them are garbled and are very probably due to the spammer trying to defeat (wrongly) anti-spam measurements by varing the address.
