Hmm. This is the total number of messages, and not the total number of IP addresses to look up, right? Do you have any idea how many IP addresses there are per message that you have to look up?


My own spam archive is pretty short. It only goes back to Sat Mar 02 00:16:31 2002, comprises 130,338,812 bytes, contains 49,848 messages, and has 20,411 unique IP addresses that I've been able to find.

My "ham" archive is quite a bit larger. Some folders go back as far as 1995, it comprises 1,041,157,733 bytes, 506,115 messages, and supposedly 64,164 unique IP addresses (I suspect that my command line that I used to find the unique IP addresses in the spam archive was not able to handle the amount of input from the ham archive).


I am curious -- is there a reason why you tested with a much larger spam archive than your ham archive?
