MessageThanks for pointing that out for me. Pete Peters answered me the same
tip 3 days ago.
>>> Virus' line in the UNIX Maillog comes from Mailscanner. Thats why I
asked it as a MailScanner issue and not UNIX. After all it is in the
mailscanner code to add '>>>Virus' in the UNIX SEndmail Log File. Not UNIX
Itself right?

  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-)
