Hey y'all

An associate of mine has experience with postfix, and was wondering if qmail blocks 
messages at SMTP that fail to meet valid criteria. See the postfix log summary generated 
from his machine, below. I'm aware the qmail toaster comes with support to use the 
following facilities to block bad messages: RBLs, SPF, domainkeys, simscan, clamav, 
spamassassin, SURBL. But does it block messages such as the "Host not found" or 
other criteria? If not how to configure? I'm aware Greylisting isn't part of the 
qmailtoaster.

The second question, does anyone know of any utilities that can generate 
reports like this from the qmail logs?

Thanks!

Right now Toaster blocks at a SMTP level any connection that fails the RBL check defined by the servers in /var/qmail/control/blacklists. It will also dump the SMTP connection if any of the criteria are met in your CHKUSER options in /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp. And no; you have the web page gui that shows some mail stats, but the logging has ALWAYS been clunky in Qmail itself. you can use some extra programs like qmail-analog, but even then they're crappy at best, IMHO. I guess you could write a script that would parse the log and count each type of entry. No one I know of has done so yet.
