You can download a beta version of the program. Be sure and read the readme.txt file.
www.mrlarry.com/la-logview.zip PLEASE, give me some feedback on this program. Thanks Larry ___________________ If I did not send you the file, here is a link to download it. NOTE: The install program will not make a shortcut on desktop or add it to the programs menu. You will have to manually make the shortcut. If installing on the server, I copy it to the spool folder so it finds the log files easier. Future updates will just contain the zipped up EXE file, under 100K. Let me know what you think and if it is helpful to you.

IMail does a reasonably good job at this. Graphical reports are generally the fruits sought after when pouring through megs of events. Have you seen http://www.ipswitch.com/Products/IMail_Server/third_party.html? Larry Anderson is right. Your analyzer should give you most of the following features: * The count for the day (or any other time range) of Local deliveries, remote deliveries, invalid e-mails, SPAM, virus infected e-mails, etc. * show you all the invalid e-mail addresses * the IP addresses of the virus sent files * the error messages * export all this information out to text files and CSV * help you find out what IP addresses are sending the most viruses and/or SPAM * list the e-mail addresses getting the most invalid e-mails * determine the ISP that is hosting the mail server with the open relay <very nice> * web interface, SQL backend The Logalot for IMail evaluation version doesn't expire but, will only present graphs as far back as two weeks. You need the registered version to report back further. The evaluation also allows monitoring of up to 3 IMail servers. It works by monitoring the IMail server application eventlog in realtime. This requires the IMail administrator to set logging to the application eventlog. Have fun.

Thanks in advance for your hard work. Bruce Barnes ChicagoNetTech Inc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of IT Department Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 20:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Log Examiner 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.
