I think you want to use the -Y switch, to get messages YOUNGER than 72h. Otherwise it will only show messages from 3 days ago, not new messages.
Also, because each person is in a different directory, that means you have to have a cron entry for each pop3 user.
Rather than have a new cron line for each pop3 user, I setup a bash script that will recursively go through directories and look for a ~/.tmdarc:
-------------------------begin file:
#!/bin/bash
FILE=/root/tmdausers
USERFILE=/root/tmdauser
MESSAGE=/root/message
DATE=`date`
send_report ()
{
USERFILE=/root/tmdauser
MESSAGE=/root/message
DATE=`date`
email="$1"
i="$2"
echo $email
echo "to: $email
from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
subject: TMDA Daily Report for $email
Messages in queue as of $DATE:
" >> $MESSAGE
/usr/bin/tmda-pending -C -b -s -Y 48h -c $i >> $MESSAGE
echo "
--------
End TMDA Report
" >> $MESSAGE
cat $MESSAGE | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
rm -f $MESSAGE
}
for i in /home/vpopmail/domains/*/*/.tmdarc
do
echo $i >> $USERFILE
addr=`cut -d/ -f6 $USERFILE`
domain=`cut -d/ -f5 $USERFILE`
email=$addr@$domain
# if [ "$email" != "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ]
# then
send_report $email $i
# fi
rm -f $USERFILE
done
exit
-----------------------------end file
Commented out is a place where you can put user's emails that DONT want a report. This assumes that your vpopmail is in /home/vpopomail.
The just chmod 770 this script and add it to root's cronjob.
Now the .msgcache files will be owned by root, so to the script before the exit line I added:
---------------------begin:
for f in /home/vpopmail/domains/*/*/.tmda/pending/.msgcache
do
chown vpopmail:vchkpw $f
done
---------------------------- end
Which changes the ownership back to vpopmail. Im not sure this is needed, but it makes everything neat.
This will also create a nightly email to the root user, so make sure that you have the root email go somewhere that is checked, or set the MAIL environment var for cron. This is a great way for checking for tmda mis-configurations (like missing crypt_keys) as the email to root will have any errors that were found.
I also have a similar setup to remove messages from the pending dir.
Good Luck

--PhotoconBefore I spend a huge amount of time on this, will a cron job work to email a pending report in a qmail/vpopmail setup?just curious if everything running as vpopmail complicates matters much.
