RE: [Declude.JunkMail] New Reporting Tool

I've got ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 bld 819 installed and working.  I use
perl for all sorts of other scripts with no issues.
 
I'm not sure what Regex is.  I thought it was part of your code.  I
don't see a perl package install called Regex.

What's Regex ? Do you have PERL installed ?

 

A 20 meg log file shouldn't matter...

Thanks so much for this!

 

I tried it out and it errors out as follows:

 

 File path : g:/logarchive/
 Processing a single day

 

 Opening File : g:/logarchive/dec1206.log


.

 

 Sorting arrays and cleaning up data
Unmatched [ in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/[ <-- HERE weight/ at
f:\tools\dis
tro-declog.pl line 443.

 

My log is 20mb if that matters.

The newest PERL script. Slices, dices, etc ... Throw it in a directory,
edit a few environment variables at the top of the script, dump in a few
Declude logs, run it, enjoy. Requires PERL, of course.

 

Added two command line switches : 'day' and 'week' . Day does the
previous day, week does the previous week. No command line switch, and
you do all the logs in the directory. This can be memory
intensive... You have been warned ! My own server, with 11-13k log
files, consumes 700+ megs of memory when doing an entire month. Folks
with larger files might want to think about doing this many files at
once.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] ANN: SMTP Gateway

2006-01-26 Thread Lists - Declude JunkMail
I see Alligate as an excellent compliment to our Imail 8.15/Declude 1.82
setup.  

I for one was thankful to learn about it through this list, as we've
been struggling with finding an SMTP filtering gateway to sit in front
of our working, stable Imail/Declude setup.  I didn't have any prior
experience with Alligate or Brian so my reading of the announcement was
strictly informational.

I don't see Alligate being a competitor to Imail or SmarterMail.  It
doesn't provide pop3, imap, webmail, or anything of the things that our
customers call their mail server.  

It could compete against Declude.  Except it works at the initial SMTP
connection level (Pre processing) whereas Declude works after the SMTP
connection is complete (Post processing).  If Declude offered a stable
pre-processing solution, I for one would sign up immediately.  As I am
not aware of any information from Declude stating they have a solution
for this, we've all had to look elsewhere (5XX, Vamsoft, IMGate, etc).

Dictionary attacks are killing us, as is the volume of spammers hitting
our Imail box.  ANYTHING to minimize what Imail/Declude has to process,
without costing and arm and a leg, or a forklift upgrade is welcome!

Alligate is a step above the 5XXSINK, by including tarpitting, detailed
text logs, secondary SMTP AUTH port, connection blocking, etc.  To me
it's the right solution at the right time.

IMGate wouldn't work for us because my staff doesn't do *nix, and I
don't want to be the only one to support the box ;)  I've got to sleep
sometimes.

Since we let our Imail support lapse and are holding judgment on
SmarterMail until v3 is released, we're in a technical holding pattern
while the spammers continue to assault our servers.  

I don't think I'm alone, which means there is an opportunity for someone
and a potential market.  While I love all this stuff, I have to eat too,
and don't fault anyone for turning my pain into their financial gain so
they can eat, if the value proposition is right.

R. Scott Perry got assaulted on the Imail list repeatedly for years for
pushing his wares.  Imail had a gap-in-functionality, Declude seized the
moment and profited by patching that gap.  I was thankful for his
repeated input/arguments and purchased his product - against Imail's own
later offering.  

I hope Declude isn't struggling - they are vital to our business.  I
also hope that others aren't silent about other available options,
competitive or otherwise.  This list is so great for learning - where
else can one go to learn more about real-world, ISP-level email
delivery?

Sorry for the ramble, just had to put my .02 in...
 
Maintain,
Babul

I  can't  believe  what is apparently permissible on this list. Has no
one  realized that this product is a commercial competitor to IMail or
SmarterMail,  with  no  relevance  to Declude? Don't try that "mail is
stopped before Declude has to deal with it" attempt at association. It
is  what  it  is.  A  separate,  commercial  anti-spam gateway with no
integral link to the now-struggling Declude.

At  least  Len  Conrad's  free  cookbook for IMGate has the exact same
features as the one he charges $500 to install. That's always been the
redeeming quality of his plugging model. Guess the game has changed.

For everyone who's silently letting this go: how'd you feel if Vamsoft
started  advertising  here?  Do you think there aren't other people on
the list who've kept quiet about similar products and services?

  I find that companies 
  that will pay for Microsoft Exchange Server and Client licences (and other 
  BackOffice products) wouldn't blink at the cost of MOM; and the pricing is 
  staggered so that you can buy as much utility as you can realistically 
  implement.
   
  What I find 
  attractive is not the application management so much as the Event Log 
  gathering and reporting.
   
  Weirdly enough, it's 
  not the large shops that I've seen deploying MOM, but rather, it's the small 
  to medium sized shops that don't have the in-house expertise and find MOM 
  cheaper than outsourcing the high-end technologists.  In particular, MOM 
  provides the basic "root cause analysis" that junior technologists lack, 
  e.g. so that MOM can tell the help desk that the webserver outage is 
  really a DNS problem.

Maybe that's because it costs an arm and a
