Title: [Solved] How can I see a list of spam messages in all inboxes at specific period
Post by: nuxero on August 30, 2016, 11:21:19 PM

Hello, there is a way that I can see a list of all the messages that spamassassin has flagged as spam among all users inbox? More specifically I want to see sender address and maybe a count of how much spam has this sender sent.

You can use the mailstats contrib to see numbers of emails that have been flagged as spam overall and per user the number left in the junkmail folder, plus a lot of other information about the activity of the email system.  However I cannot see the point of knowing how many spam messages from each sender, as spammers will change the sender regularly to try to fool the anti-spam measures.

Details of mailstats here:

https://wiki.contribs.org/Mailstats

The development version is for the new qpsmtpd and not yet released, so the latest version for SME9 will be loaded by:

yum update --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-mailstats

You get one report emailed to admin every night, it runs just after midnight.

Spam usually isn't sent by users. It is sent by "bots" - malware programs which have infected computers.

I agree.. checking spam sender address is quite useless and pointless, because they are fake
