The statistics available for each hosted domain now show the total number of messages which have been caught on a day-by-day basis.

This is significantly more interesting to look at than the previously displayed information!

Over the past couple of days the way that graphing is conducted for hosted domains has been improved.

Previously it was possible to view a graph of the amount of SPAM received for each domain. Now these graphs also include the number of legitimate mails.

Here is an example of one of the updated graphs:

Each of our hosted domains receive a graph showing the number of SPAM and non-SPAM mails received for every day of the month. The problem with these graphs is that they are pretty coarse, being updated only once an hour or so.

To counter this we've introduced real-time per-domain statistics.

Global statistics may be found here:

• http://mail-scanning.com/xml/stats

(This is a rolling total over 30 days.)

For your domain you may view your personal totals via a link such as this one :

• http://mail-scanning.com/xml/stats/example.com

For example here are the SPAM statistics for cvsrepository.org.

This XML format is simple to parse, so if you want to poll it every few minutes for your own personal display you're more than welcome to do so.

I'm pleased to announce that today it became possible to make changes to your domain's settings via GPG-signed email.

As our service is concerned with processing email this was a natural addition, and it may be useful for making changes without having to use the web-based control panel.

The email support will be slowly improved over the coming days and weeks, but initially it is possible to:

• Add users as valid recipients for your domain.
• Remove users as valid recipients for your domain.
• List the valid recipients for your domain.
• List the SPAM & Ham counts for your domain - as available on the realtime view.

(These actions are useful if you've disabled wildcard handling, and have restricted domain users.)

To submit updates by email you will need to update your account to associate a GPG key with it.

Once you've done that simply follow the instructions to submit changes by email. Here is a basic example of submitting a "list users" request:

echo "list-users:" | gpg --clearsign |  \
   mail example.org@updates.mail-scanning.com

Shortly after submitting this request you should receive an email response similar to this:

Subject: [mail-scanning.com] command results

Good signature of the incoming message.

listUsers()
        bob
        root
        steve
