Concurrent Mail

Session Scanning

checking capability is currently being used.

 

The lighter shaded part of the bar and the pop-up show the historical high.

 

The first number to the right of the bar is how many e-mail sessions the ZyWALL

 

is presently checking for spam. The second number is the maximum number of

 

e-mail sessions that the ZyWALL can check at once. An e-mail session is when

 

an e-mail client and e-mail server (or two e-mail servers) connect through the

 

ZyWALL.

These are the statistics for the DNSBL the ZyWALL uses. These statistics are

 

for when the ZyWALL actually queries the DNSBL servers. Matches for DNSBL

 

responses stored in the cache do not affect these statistics.
