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.</font><br>
