RE: [Mimedefang] Counting mail traffic
If you need a breakdown of mailsize per users, then it might be easiest to parse your maillog. Each log entry showing the from= also shows the sendmail message ID and the size=. You would need to search for the size=, capture the message ID number, then search the log again, for the to= entry that has the same message ID number.

Yes, i walked through it easily but there are some problems with sendmail logs. The information which is kept there is not reliable so i decided to choose mimedefang filter because it contains all info about connection and mail processing. So, it suits me in every respect but as i said earlier, it logs empty strings sometimes (see my first posting above). I want to understand why it does and how to walk around this problem.

RE: [Mimedefang] Counting mail traffic
I tried to count mail traffic with MIMEDefang. Everything goes fine but sometimes i see empty strings in my maillog file, such as: Tue Apr 13 19:58:54 2004 42080 There is no ip and recipient. How can i solve this problem? Simply use the mailstats command. It will give you output that you need. Make sure your sendmail is configured with statistics enabled, by placing the following line in your sendmail.mc file: define(`STATUS_FILE', `/etc/mail/statistics') Create the statistics file using the following command, if it does not already exist: touch /etc/mail/statistics Then, every night, run the following two commands in a cron task, and let the cron task mail you the results: mailstats /etc/mail/statistics Ken ___ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
