<b>Subject:</b> [Dxspider-support] The results are in for today (so far)</span>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 18px;">The results are in:<br>
<br>
After setting <span style="font-family: monospace;">$DXProt::senderverify </span>
to 1 or 2 (hint: I have set mine to 2)<br>
<br>
And running the following two commands:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace;"> grepdbg '\s+<-\s+I\s+GB7DJK\s+PC61' | wc -l</span><br>
<br>
and<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace;"> <br>
grepdbg 'bad spot ' | wc -l<br>
</span><br>
and noting the numbers on a piece of paper with the first command being 'A' and the second 'B' and then doing this simple calculation:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: monospace;"> B * 100 / A<br>
</span><br>
The result I got for a morning's traffic (the natural result of a grepdbg on today's log with sendverify set) is:<br>
<br>
60.22 (%)<br>
<br>
Or to put it another way, most of the traffic sent today is very likely fake.<br>
<br>
Houston, we have a problem...<br>

PS If you have had senderverify set > 0 for all of today, you can repeat the example above by changing 'GB7DJK' to a similar node feeding yours from which you are likely to get all/most of your spots.</div>
