Email News Bulletin

Email Stats Updated
Posted: Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Statistics from the new email firewall servers are now available.

Please note that, because the new ProofPoint servers filter first at the connection level, then check individual emails, these stats are not directly comparable to the old stats.

When reading the new stats, keep in mind that first connections are filtered and connections from known bad sources are dropped (see the "Connections Processed" graph). Also consider that each such blocked connection could have generated multiple unwanted emails (spam, viruses, etc.), so where the old statistics would have counted each email individually as "blocked" emails, in the new stats individual emails are not counted for the blocked connections. After connections are filtered, individual emails sent through allowed connections are checked and the stats for these are reflected in the "Emails Checked" graphs.
