The latest stable, yes, but maybe I need to turn up the reporting
level.

Im not so good with numbers and graphs turn me on <br>
I also think graphing make it easier to visualize what actually happen
with your email system instead of <br>
looking at bunch of text & numbers. <br>
<br>
I am using following combination of following software to create my
graph : <br>
- nrpe<br>
- nagios<br>
- n2rrd<br>
- cacti<br>
- modified updatemailstats.pl ( available from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://taz.net.au/postfix/mrtg/">http://taz.net.au/postfix/mrtg/</a>) <br>
<br>
How I set it up : <br>
- Nagios does monitoring and at the same time it collect performance
data. So basically it combine 2 jobs into one : monitoring &
reporting. <br>
- n2rrd convert the performance data and convert it to rrd which can be
used by cacti<br>
- cacti provide web interface for graph management which allows you to
easily zoom in and out of the graph, go to specific dates etc ... <br>
<br>

I have more graph but currently too lazy to upload. You can modify
updatemailstats.pl quite easily to suit sendmail.<br>
Another useful reporting tool that I use is splunk ( splunk.com ) &
mailwatch for mailscanner ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mailwatch.sourceforge.net/doku.php">http://mailwatch.sourceforge.net/doku.php</a> )
. <br>
The latest version of splunk allow you to search logs easily and you
can create graph with ease. <br>
