I figured this out just last night after a bit of experimentation. Let's see if
I can remember everything I did...
1. Figure out where your mail log files are. If you're using the stock
/var/qmail/rc, splogger sends the output of qmail-send to syslog. Syslog on
RH6.0 is configured to log mail-related messages to /var/log/maillog
2. Prepare your logfiles for the matchup program. For you this means stripping
off the timestamps and junk that syslog ads. I did this via
cat /var/log/maillog* | awk '{$1="";$2="";$3="";$4="";$5="";print}' >
/tmp/maillog-pre-matchup
3. You then send the stripped log through matchup
cat /tmp/maillog-pre-matchup | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup >
/tmp/maillog-matchup
(I got an error message here about fd 5 not being open. I think matchup prints
pending messages to fd 5.)
4. Then you can generate stats from the processed maillog using the z* utilities
in /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/
cat /tmp/maillog-matchup | /usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/zoverall >
/tmp/zoverall-out
You can then read /tmp/zoverall-out, which is a summary of what qmail has been
doing.
