what are you rude?.. heres a copy of what I sent you a week a go. try reading it

[Patterson S.R.]

Your answer is:

grep '>>> Virus' maillog

Note the single quotes.  They stop the ">" characters from having a
meaning to the shell.  Make sure you use the ones which slope from
bottom-left to top-right (or look straight upright), NOT the ones
which slope top-left to bottom-right, as they do something completely
different.

This is a UNIX question, not a mailscanner question.

Subject: RE: New release logging suggestions


I would like to see some differant text in the log per email virus
caught.. I grep the maillog to see how many viruses caught so far that
week. For instance, I currently tried 'tail -2000 /var/log/maillog |
grep >>>Virus' of course the ">" symbols something that messes grep up
and wont work. The only string that works best is just use the word
Virus ( tail -2000 /var/log/maillog | grep Virus ) Only thing is, it
shows the mailscanner restarting every four hours lines as well as the
viruses caught. I cant think of anything good but maybe some weird
character that is never seen in the maillog such as a & or pipe
symbol? Just something that grep could sniff out easily ONLY for
caught viruses. Or do you have a better solution? The Email ID to go
along with it as well would be nice. for ones that were scanned and
ones that were found to be infected.
Hope that is a ok suggestion..
Oh well Im still a newbie anyways 8-)
