I’m going for the record.

Just wanted to show he's got a long way to go yet.

Of those 700 "legitimate" maybe a dozen will be direct communications with me. Most of the rest will be monitoring, root e-mails, cron e-mails (from scheduled tasks) or general geeky multinational discussion between (usually) networks guys.

To be honest, I'd really rather I didn't get all of them, however just occasionally something can be spotted by their frequency / output that'll hint at a larger issue that needs fixed. I'd go loopy if I couldn't automatically filter out those 9k a day!

For the curious these simple rules are responsible for the deletion of 9k a day (probably no-one..):

# Crap to be ditched

if $h_X-BorderScout-Spam: matches "(96|97|98|99|100)\."
        then
        seen finish
endif

if $h_subject: contains "Delivery Status Notification"
or $h_subject: contains "Postfix SMTP server: errors from"
or $h_subject: contains "Returned mail: see transcript"
or $h_subject: contains "Returned mail: User unknown"
or $h_subject: contains "Warning: message"
or $h_subject: contains "Mail delivery failed: returning"
or $h_subject: contains "Postmaster notify"
or $h_subject: contains "Symantec Mail Security"
or $h_subject: contains "Mail virus incident report"
or $h_subject: contains "Virus received from"
or $h_subject: contains "RT Bounce: [Ticket"
or $h_subject: contains "failure notice"
or $h_subject: contains "DELIVERY FAILURE:"
or $h_subject: contains "Delivery Report (Failure)"
or $h_subject: contains "Undelivered Mail Returned To Sender"
or $h_subject: contains "McAfee Groupshield Alert"
or $h_subject: contains "Out of Office Autoreply"
or $h_subject: contains "Mail delivery error"
or $h_subject: contains "Failed email report"
or $h_subject: contains "Visit London Auto Response"
or $h_to: contains "ripe@netscalibur.co.uk"
and $h_to: does not contain "paul.graydon@uk.clara.net"
then
        seen finish
endif

Just remembered seeing some RT bounces so that part isn't working straight!
