I have written a log examiner program that is turning out pretty well. After running it, you can then select a log to load in. It then will examine it and tell you the following:
The count for the day of Local deliveries, remote deliveries, forwarded e-mail, invalid e-mails and virus infected e-mails. It also shows you all the invalid e-mail addresses, the IP addresses of the virus sent files, the error messages (550 messages, etc.) You can export all this information out to text files also. The program is written in visual basic, and requires the .net framework to work. The actual program is only 40KB as an EXE so it runs very fast. Can examine a 3 meg log file in about 30 seconds. Because of this program, I am able to find out what IP addresses are sending the most viruses and then ban that IP, I can also see what e-mail addresses are getting the most invalid e-mails. That I do not know what to do about yet. I have one account that was deleted two years ago and still gets 7 e-mails every day. If you are interested in a beta copy, please let me know by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The program can be run on the server or you can run it on a client machine and copy the log files over or even view them through the network.
