I archive my qmail logs every month and keep them for reference in case
someone asks about a e-mail or date of something. I used it not to long
ago when a person's pc crashed and they lost their address book and
needed a certain address. I was able to use grep (handy small program)
and search for the address. They knew what month and what week they
last sent a message to that address so it wasn't to hard to find. I
haven't used a report program on them what type of reports can you get?
Thanks,
Dale
