I'm having trouble reconciling the blocked message stats and the amount of spam I'm seeing.
First, the stats:
According to this, EOP is filtering upwards of 250 messages a day on average, but I never see them. At most, I deal with a handful of messages every day in my Junk E-mail folder. I have only two actual mailboxes configured right now, and though I haven't checked, specifically, I don't think the other mailbox is getting remaining 245+ every day.
Now, in response to some other forum questions I've seen, I've changed the behavior from sending to the Junk Email folder to the Quarantine, since the Quarantine is pretty empty. But I've only done that an hour ago, so I have no idea if that's borne fruit yet.
That said, I noticed something puzzling with regards to the stats, in that they don't add up.
So, there's my received mail table, my graph, and my very vague "top recipients." I'm assuming that the "Top Recipients" refers to Good Mail, though that doesn't add up, as the seven day total of good mail from the table is 623 messages, and the total of top recipients is only 358. There's only two or three other e-mail addresses configured (and these all point at the two configured mailboxes), so they can't account for the 265 message discrepancy, as all or at least one of them would then show up on the top recipients list. And it can't be mail received on the last date in the table, as that's only 307 total messages, between good mail and spam.
So where is all this extra mail, and why can't I see it? Why is it not showing up in my junk mail folder? I know I've missed messages from people, and trying to guess at IP addresses to add them to an allowed list is a non-starter. Where is all the extra good mail, and where on earth is all of the spam? I really want to be able to review the spam just to make sure people aren't getting lost in there, but it seems like EOP decides I don't really need to see it.
Thanks,
Dave
