Sendmail WebStats (sort of a mod)

[Sander Jonkers]

OK, done that, page is generated. Apparantly the script searches for
'mailscan' in the files in the directory /var/log/mail/. Despite my eicar detected
mails, mailscanner does not log to my /var/log/mail/*. I first have to take of
that.


[root at sanderold mail]# ls /var/log/mail/*
/var/log/mail/errors       /var/log/mail/info       /var/log/mail/warnings
/var/log/mail/errors.1.gz  /var/log/mail/info.1.gz
/var/log/mail/warnings.1.gz
[root at sanderold mail]# grep -i mailscan /var/log/mail/*
[root at sanderold mail]#
