Total Messages:  Number of messages processed
Viri Detected: Number of messages determined to contain one or more virus infected attachments
Messages dropped by UW Blacklist: Number of messages discarded because the sender or relay host was blacklisted
Spam >50%: Number of messages that PureMessage scored >50% 
Spam Discarded: Number of messages that were discarded because they
scored 99% or higher for inbound messages, or
scored 95% or higher for outbound messages.
Backscatter blocked: Number of messages identified as being a mail bounce due to a spam message and thus just discarded
Dropped by CBL: Number of messages scoring less than 99% from a source in the CBL and thus were just discarded
% Spam: ((spam >50%) + (dropped by blacklist)) / ((total messages) - (virus infected messages))
