Greetings.  I'm interested in being able to view some statistics about
TMDA and the magic it works in a given time period.  Wanted to see what
you folks think about the idea.

Particular numbers of interest could be:

-Number of messages passing through TMDA
-Breakdown of actions performed
  -auto-confirmed b/c they're on a whitelist
  -dropped/bounced b/c they're on a blacklist
  -confirm requests sent
  -confirmations received
  -...
-Number of messages left unconfirmed

Even cooler, but not as practical, would be stuff like:

-Min/Avg/Max times between confirm requests and confirmations received
-Number of distinct senders / subject lines
-Number of "hits" on each whitelist / blacklist

I envision a command line tool that takes a log file location, and
optionally a date range, as arguments and returns those stats in
plaintext/XML/whatever.

I started down the road of whipping up a Perl script to do some of this,
but then realized A) it could be something of general use, so I should
query the list to help develop the idea, and B) it could involve some
changes to the TMDA codeline (for creating more parseable logs), which I
would be less inclined to hack just for my own purposes.

It could also be that someone's already done this sort of thing.

I think it would neat to have this kind of information available,
especially for sysadmins administering multiple TMDA instances, and for
geeks obsessed with such things.

Thoughts?

Chris
