# This script is to be run on the mail server itself
# Every postfix server/instance must have script remove-bogus-corrupted-mails.sh & run periodically [hourly,etc depending on the mail load on this server] via crontab
#

# The main aim of this script is to COUNT the TOTAL Number of Bogus Mails
# Ideally should be invoked by Cron at the end of the day [say .. 23:55:00] & thus should be entered in crontab file
