Hi gang!

Has anyone created a log file (sysXXXX.txt) analyzer?  I need a tool that I
can use to see who, (if anyone) is hammering a mail server.  For example, if
one user is using outlook (or similar) to send bulk email thru a mail
server.

I have created a program that will count text strings in the text file.  If
I count the "MAIL From"'s and the "RCPT TO"'s will this tell me how many
messages are being sent within a vertain time period?  Will there be one
"MAIL From" for every "RCPT TO"?  Or, if one user sends 100 emails, will
there be one "MAIL From" and 100 "RCPT TO"'s?  I have a feeling that a few
people are sending bulk emails, but how can I tell?

Thanks to anyone who can help!  Any if anyone needs the text counter program
I have, you are welcome to it, just let me know.

I'm running Imail 7.05 HF2.

Thanks!
