spam report quesiton....

[Mitchell Baker]

Ok.. I'm still confused since that does not match up to the number in
the Messages col...

The way I read this.. there were a total of 1941560 records in the spamd
log scanned.. out of that 1688179 were message records... Next of those
1941560 records 1224900 were tagged as spam which broke out to 1083536
messages....
