Help configuring MRTG

I just sent the author of SMA an email explaining Spamassassin and
MailScanner with links to their pages. I suggested to him, to add/or modify
his code to include statistical reporting of MS and SA , in the maillog, to
output their statistics in html too.. It could be a commented out choice in
hid conf file for people to enable or disable.. Hopefully he will agree!

  Are you guys talking about a Sendmail Log Analysis Report?
  there is a way better utility for that that you might want to modify to
add a field for mailscanner and spam assassin results.
  Its called SMA, version 1.1  it outputs to text or html format.
  I recommend it 100%

  example :   http://www.klake.org/sma/example.html
  download it here : http://www.klake.org/sma/

  I hope this helps!  I made a cron script to run it daily as well as
outputting 4 other html pages for my older logs such as: maillog.1 maillog.2
etc.. log rotations.. Real nice when you want a statistical report at your
finger tips.. Only thing is, Im not a programmer. So I cant modify the code
to collect data for mailscanner and spamassassin. :( If you guys could, and
like this program, could you modify it for mailscanner and upload it to the
list??

    Can I get in on this MRTG configuration? I'd like to see what kind of
    numbers my server is doing. I have MRTG working on my internet interface
    so I can see bandwidth, how do I get it to also show email, viruses, and
    spam?

    Thanks.
