Topic: Lot of mails?

[jonash]

I got a mail from sme7admin with these warnings:

Fri Dec  8 01:14:05 2006
During the last 5 minutes, 450 incoming e-mails were detected,
Fri Dec  8 01:14:05 2006
During the last 5 minutes, 86 outgoing e-mails were detected

Later I got this info from spamfilter

They dont seem to report the same thing! Are these scripts reading different log files, or is something configured in a wrong way? Is there anyone who can clarify this?

Thanks!

I noticed that spamfilter-stats-7.pl reports mails only for last 6 or so hours.
Looked around I discovered that in /var/log/qpsmtpd logs are only from last couple of hours - saying it another way for less that a day.
In this situation maybe the suggested solution is to change log settings so that we have at least logs for the whole last day.
I guess that should be with logrotate, but if I'm not wrong it work by time. The noticed behaviour is that log are about 4.7 MB.
I don't know how to change log settings.

Any halp will be appreciated.
