MRTG on MailScanner 3.23-4

[David While]

As requested

sendmail.logs.pl can be found at
http://www.boys-brigade.org.uk/mrtg/sendamil.logs.pl
mrtg.cfg can be found at http://www.bys-brigade.org.uk/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

The sendmail.logs.pl works on the current mail log file (I use Redhat 7.3
so the log file is /var/log/maillog) and produces a temporary file
containing the last hours entries - it then analyses this as per Julian's
orginal and passes them to mrtg for graphing. If I were being a
perfectionist :) the graphs are actually an hour out since they are working
on historical data but what I am interested in is trends etc they are OK
for my needs. The advantage of these is that they will work with a standard
Redhat 7/3 installation with no messing about with log files etc.

I have modified Julian's sendmail.logs.pl and mrtg.cfg to work on the
log file and update hourly. To see the results go to

Hi Matt!

Could you please post the new sendmail.logs.pl file or a link to it?

Would like to try it myself too! Does it still require that the maillogs
need to be rotated daily?

Thanx!
Remco
