The counters are used to "ballpark" give an idea of what is going on. Sometimes connection attempts just probe the server without actually trying to send an email, so those may neither be counted as spam nor forwarded. Then there's multiple email attempts within the same connection, etc etc...

i am looking at my activity log and it shows the following

Emails Forwarded: 57

Emails Blocked: 211

Emails Attempts: 285

forwarded + Blocked = 268

So what are the other 17

Cheers
