Another logging question
Hi, I've managed to get qmail to log the pop connections using a poplog script that contail s the following... #! /bin/sh echo "$TCPREMOTEIP" "$USER" | /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d 19 pop="$1"; shift; exec "$pop" "$@" and edited the server_arg line in xined.conf to read server_arg = localhost /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/poplog /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir I get a log entry in /var/log/popper.log that looks like this...

Either expand your little POP3-logging shim, or write an additional one that comes just before qmail-pop3d in your run script. Since you're serving your mail out of Maildirs in the user's home directories, finding the number of messages and total bytes in new/old mail is trivial: oldmessages=`ls $USER/Maildir/old/ | wc -l` newmessages=`ls $USER/Maildir/new/ | wc -l` newmailbytes=`du -sb $USER/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1` Then print this as you do your current logging information.

Thanks Charles,
Your suggestion worked.
For anyone else who is interested, Here's the final results.
I modified my poplog script tp read as follows...
#! /bin/sh
newmail=`ls /home/"$USER"/Maildir/new/ | wc -l`
newmailbytes=`du -sb /home/"$USER"/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1`
echo "$TCPREMOTEIP" "$USER" "$newmail" "$newmailbytes" |
/var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d 19
pop="$1"; shift; exec "$pop" "$@"
I'm running a distor based on RedHat 7 so the pop3d daemon is called
from xinetd. So the /etc/xinetd.conf file has a pop3 section that
reads as follows
service pop-3
{
socket_type = stream
user= root
wait= no
server = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
server_args = localhost /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/poplog
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
}
Next, I edit the /etc/syslog.conf so the line for local3 reads...
local3.*
/var/log/popper.log
And finally with all this I get a /var/log/popper.log that has the
following...
May 17 11:54:01 testmail pop3d: 990114841.105074 dean 4 20480
May 17 12:01:42 testmail pop3d: 990115302.090064 dean 12 57344
I hope this helps someone else.
Again Thanks to Charles for his response.

Dean

But either works, providing all your homedirs are in fact under /home/ .

You did bring up a good point though. In my case all user homedirs are in the same path, but I have admin accounts in another path that would not have worked with the previous script. Using $HOME eliminates the hard coded path. newmail=`ls $HOME/Maildir/new/ | wc -l` newmailbytes=`du -sb $HOME/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1` Cheers Dean Dean Staff Protus IP Solutions 210 - 2379 Holly Lane Ottawa, ON K1V 7P2 Canada 613-733- ex 546 Fax 613-248-4553 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.protus.com
