Hey,
Been using iRedMail for around a month now, all is going great with it, was hoping somebody could help me out a little however, looking at the logwatch emails I get sent to my postmaster account everyday I can see the number of rejected mail is considerably higher than the accepted, I understand this may be the case is the server is under account for example, I'd like to think my clients are not losing business through this email server... all email functions are working fine and everyone get's on with their day without any hassle... has anybody had anything like or perhaps got a reasoning for why it's so high all the time? I'll put an extract down below :-

Is this just because of the amount of spam sent to the mail server or are the rejected mail genuine emails/leads for clients? This is everyday occurrence and I though it was dy down but it hasn't, just kept the same 20%/80%+ or so split.
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can adjust my configuration so I allow more emails in to at least see if they're bad or not?
