Interesting stuff. The number of rejected messages far exceeds the number of messages identified as containing a virus or being spam. Are the other messages simply ones that are not from a list member?

The rejects turns out to be connections that were turned away because they were from open relays ... this happens before the message is actually received.

Also, this covers all mail processed by my mail server ... not just those for lists.
