RE: stats from qmailanalog
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/qmail/2000/06/msg00325.html That is the link to the script that I'm using to process my mail logs. It has been pointed out to me that the conversion routine (orginally posted by Jos ?? Someone - I can't find the orginal in the archive for some reason) that I'm using is 10 second off from tai64nlocal, but it is close enough for my needs. -Original Message- From: flitcraft33 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 28, 2000 12:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: stats from qmailanalog I am new to qmail and I am trying to set up the qmailanalog scripts to provide statistics and process the log files. I can't get any of it to work, I read the read-mes and man pages and am clueless. My installation follows the defaults in qmail, appears to work fine and uses mail directories owned by the user and placed beneath their home directories. I ran the tai64local program against a copy of a log and got human time stamps. I followed the steps on the matchup and got as far as a file that had my log with a question mark on each line. After that errors all around. the next instructions on the manpage follow out.1 5>pending.2 cat pending.2 log.2 | matchup >out.2 5>pending.3 cat pending.3 log.3 | matchup >out.3 5>pending.4 Is this some kind of log rotation or what? What's the deal with 5> in the first line? What on earth does that do? As you can tell I am totally lost. I really have tried to find this stuff in man pages, manuals and by searching the net, but I'm lost. Is there a how-to or a kind soul who can explain step by step (with some expanations of what a given command is doing) for me. I would be glad to codify this for some kind of mini-how to or for inclusion with the scripts with the permission of the appropriate people. Thank you Dan Sichel puzzled newbie

There are also some nice SMTP-Auth patches on the qmail page. Don't use IMAP, but do use the patch at http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/ instead of POP before SMTP.

I'm having trouble getting this patch to work with $M outlook express or the 2000 client.

RE: Mail server problems.
Earthlink recently stopped allowing SMTP traffic out of their network except from their mail servers. I've had to change several of my dial up users settings to used Earthlink's servers for out going mail. On a positive note, they did stop requiring that the reply to field point to one of their domains. > -Original Message- > From: Rob Hines Jr. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2000 7:35 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Mail server problems. > > > I have something of a large recurring problem.
