Cross posting inside (postfix + amavisd-new)
</you have been warned>
since we don't know how you did your calculations, we can
hardly say.
Unless you reject a lotf of mail, I would bet that your
calculations are
wrong.
Note that it is not that simple to do the maths here:
- if you are not using multiple instances, you need to
correlate before
and after the filter mail. good luck.
- you should count rejected mail (but not reject_warning)
- when mail is sent to multiple recipients, it is
"sent" once, delivered
N times
- sames goes in the case of alias expansion
