By the way, could you share me some tips on populating spamtraps with
nasty mail? Found virtually no docs through Google.
I tried posting test messages with various addresses to Usenet, but it
might take a long while to get chickenboners interested in 'em. If ever.
Tried scraping mangled addresses off my dear users, too, but only got a
handful of 'em.

Wow. I just discovered eximstats. I recall trying to roll up my own,
showing counts of individual rejects. But this is plainly awesome, if
only I knew about it earlier! Kudos!
Accidentally, I stumbled upon such a wonderful thingee:

Is it, by chance, available for download? Inefficient or not, I could
finally make some sense of all these logs.
