We are using that for metering SMTP traffic. However, there are three
traffic streams that IMHO should be watched:
o incoming SMTP traffic
o outgoing SMTP traffic
o POP traffic (message retrieval costs bandwidth)
qmailanalog handles the first two quite well. I am having problems with
the third one.
I have a strong suspicision as of now, based on some casual snoop
output reviews, that POP traffic is consuming about 30% of the total
email bandwidth usage. I would like to find a way to make this
metering more precise.
The -v flag of tcpserver prints error messages and status messages, not
sizes.
