Published 3 years, 9 months ago in sysadminThis is ridiculous:
70% spam this month. Sucks.
Time to seriously consider installing a server-side spam filter.

Where are those stats in Mail? I can’t find mine?
Derek, Those screenshots are from SpamSieve, a wonderful utility that can plug into Mail or Mailsmith (as well as other mail clients). I’ve written about it before:

I’ve got server-side spam filtering turned on at my ISP. The spam they catch (far from all of it) goes into a separate mailbox which they clear out once a month.
Well, I get so much spam that that mailbox can fill up my disk quota in *two days*. I had to set up a cronjob to delete it every night.
