Tracking the wild mailscanner stats

[Matthew Bowman]

Hi,

Thanks - I deleted that mrtg.cfg file and now I have graphs.  Just one
other question though.  Why didn't mailstats start from the beginning of
my /var/log/maillog ? It only picked up from the current time.

I have over 25,000 messages in the maillog since 4am yesterday morning
EST, mailstats only shows 5,392.

Perhaps I need to change mailstats.pl to read from the start of the file?

Any ideas?

Thank you again.

Matthew Bowman

Delete or rename the file /var/www/html/mailstats/mrtg.cfg  I think that
may solve your problem (It's created the first time mailstats runs and
contains some paths from the config.pl, when you change config.pl these
aren't updated).
