Hi,

I've only just started using PMG, so I hope this isn't a completely stupid question.

I've just received the daily 'Proxmox Status Report', which contains the following stats:
Incoming Mails: 722
Junk Mails: 686
Spam Mails: 9

When I look in 'Tracking Center', there are only around 40 entries for the day (with Greylist and Empty Senders turned on) - mostly accepted, with a few greylisted and a few quarantined. When I look at 'Statistics', I can see that there was a huge spike of 651 incoming mails within 1 hour this morning, so I can be reasonably sure they were indeed unwanted.

My question is why don't they show up in Tracking Center? And is there anywhere I can see logs for those attempts, just so that I can work out what's going on? From previous experience, we get about that number of unwanted e-mails in an entire week, not an hour!

Thanks,

Alex
 
Check the system's mail-logs /var/log/mail.log for the timeframe - my guess would be that these are rejected by postscreen

I hope this helps!
