I needed something very similar to this so I actually was modifying it this morning. However, I think your system will fail because strftime will return Jan 01 and sendmail will log Jan 1 (space padded).
I further modified it to do a larger range of dates by using mysql to do the date processing. My version is here but this is a really simple script. The main point of my email was to point out the potential bug above for single digit dates and I wouldn't recommend this in cron. I just needed to produce a one-time report on a system and I ran it like this: zcat /var/log/maillog.?.gz | cat /var/log/maillog - | /usr/local/sbin/parse_maillog.pl http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/MIMEDefang/parse_maillog.pl Regards, KAM > Be sure to modify your MDLOG tags so they match. > Then call the script like: mail.pl /var/log/maillog > /Fredrik > > #!/usr/bin/perl > use POSIX qw(strftime); > my $mail_counter = 0; > my $spam_counter = 0; > my $virus_counter = 0; > > $date = strftime "%b %e %H:", localtime; > while (<>) { > if (m|$date|) { > if ($_ =~ /mail_in/){ > $mail_counter++; > } > if ($_ =~ /spam/){ > $spam_counter++; > } > if ($_ =~ /virus/){ > $virus_counter++; > } > } else { > } > } > printf("mail_in:%d mail_spam:%d > mail_virus:%d",$mail_counter,$spam_counter,$virus_counter); _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
