Ok, great script, but one question: As I can understand this script will read values from the logfile that indicate message sizes. So the min and max values are not minimum and maximum bits per second (for which time range? 5 minutes?) but are the smallest and largest processed messages in this logfile. This has nothing to do with maximum bandwith usage! The average value can also be calculated with delog: Read the total incoming or outgoing bytes at the end of the report and divide them by the factor 10800 This will transform the units from Bytes/day in Bits/second (the common used unit for this type of data) So a total incoming trafic of 1 GB/day will create an average bandwith usage of 92592 Bits/second (~ 92 kBit/s) for the entire day. (note: this is only the incoming value) Based on the data in the SMTP logfile it's not possible to calculate the real peak value or real traffic usage diagrams because even if you calculate every single message from his begin of transfer to the end this will be only an average value for this single message (the transfer rate can go up and down durring the transfer of a singel message). You can try to watch windows perfmon values or enable SNMP on this windows server. Alternatively you can put a SNMP enabled device like HPs Procurve switches between your server and the router and then read out values from there.
