total spam checking capability is currently being used.

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.
