I found that the mailscanner-mrtg was very easy to install and I was incorrect. It is showing stats now and does appear to be working fine. It was well documented and pre-configured for RH Linux so I had to change almost nothing. From a stats point of view, the mailscanner-mrtg does seem to provide most of what I need to know. I just liked the graphs in mailwatch better.
Since I use Webmin for 95% of the day-to-day admin of my Linux servers, I think that Webmin is the way to go for configuration. I'm never afraid to work from the command line (and often DO). However, Webmin is a consistent administration interface with support for hundreds of applications on Linux. Having a Webmin module will also put you on their (webmin's) website, which will further promote the use of Openprotect. Which brings me to another issue. Since OpenProtect uses spamassassin for ratings, is it ok to make changes to SpamAssassin using the Webmin interface for SpamAssassin? Anyway, just my thoughts. Thanks. C.

However, the documentation is lacking some As Scott Heisler says, we the developers of openprotect are also impressed with the features of MailWatch, but the problem is it is a little bit resource hungry (mysql, jpgraph and proper support is not there for all MTAs), so can you people give your opinion about the web frontend of openprotect - whether it should be for tweaking config only (webmin), stats only(mrtg) or both (mailwatch) or maybe provide all and ask your choice at install time ? > On another note, the RPM version of mailscanner-mrtg does not work with > OpenProtect because it doesn't see mailscanner 4.0, so the install fails.

The trouble with platform independent packaging :(. cheers, Ganesh, KM. -- K.M.Ganesh | Mobile: +91 (0) 9444080290 Opencomputing Technologies | http://opencompt.com Server Side E-Mail Protection.
