Everyone, I am looking to find some software that will create usage reports for sendmail. Basic stuff such as the number of messages coming in, going out, and who are the heaviest users. Ideally, it would be easy to install and have a graphic representation, like webalizer does for apache. In the failed attempts department, I've tried isoqlog (http://www.enderunix.org/isoqlog/) but found that the numbers that it reports are very low. For instance, I subscribe to this list and isoqlog only reported me receiving 38 messages yesterday. On the easy to install end of the spectrum, the sendmail_stats script (http://www.reedmedia.net/software/sendmail_stats/) gives what I want, but I'd have to write a second script to chop the log up into days since the sendmail_stats script does not report by day, but by log file. I'd like to know perl, but don't really have the time to try to learn it now just to make this script work for me. this script doesn't produce the pretty charts and graphs that management likes and it treats email addresses with mixed case as different users (pchapman@xxxxxxx has different stats from PChapman@xxxxxxx). On the difficult to install end of the spectrum, it looks like I may be able to get mrtg (http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/) to do it too, but it's an additional feature that can somehow be installed and/or configured. I can't figure out how to set up monitoring of just the mail usage. Can anyone give me any advice on software that meets my needs or how to get mrtg to do it? -- Philip A.
