The compressed history amounts to nothing in comparison (1.5GB per file as opposed to 17GB). I suppose I could configure our hourly logrotate to replace the functionality of /etc/periodic/daily/310.accounting. Sounds like a viable solution to me.

Re: Best SMTP Gateway Program and Reporting Tools

Many very smart people for whom I have a great deal of respect do not share my particular preferences. is and what the best log analysis tool for that SMTP program is. If I wanted to be a bit unhelpful just to make a point, I would say perl (or grep depending on taste). It depends on needs. We are currently using Symantec Mail Security for our outgoing SMTP Gateway but want to employ an open-source solution instead. My problem is our main requirement is to have a way to view the logs on a web based interface that will allow our system administrators when a customer complains they didn't receive an email to be able to go into the logs and search by date/time and view the activity for that period to determine if the mail went through our system or if it was blocked and if so why. It should be very easy to roll your own. I know that exim comes with a number of GUI useful monitoring tools, but I don't know if this functionality is there. But I do think that several of the tools come close. They aren't web based, but X11 tools. Also (if your privacy policy allows it) there's a configuration setting for logging subjects. I've heard of and read about a few different programs like SMA and Anteater and pflogstats, but I don't know if these will have the functionality I need to allow admins to search logs for a specific date/time and/or specific phrase/address on a web based interface. Maybe someone has already done this, but it really wouldn't be a difficult thing to develop your own tool for doing this. -j ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! I'm unsure but it sounds like ESVA *might* be worth looking into. The web interface is really nice and allows you to look for specific messages and such. Do you want it to be a FreeBSD solution?

I'd like to a good neighbor and share my DSL line and set up an unencrypted free wireless access point. I often find myself wanting more free access points around the city, so I thought I'd stand up as a good example for others :-) I want people to know that they can use the network (easy, use ssid free internet), but I want them to know that they should be nice, and it's meant for casual browsing, and that misuse will cause a ban. So, what I'd like: 1) Setup a wireless network card in infrastructure mode, I think. 2) Setup a DHCP server and DNS forwarder on this interface 3) Setup routing from one interface to my other network 4) Use a firewall to close down lots of stuff, maybe also limit bandwith per mac-address, and a way to deny access to certain NICs. 5) Insert a message in all text/html over HTTP, basically saying: Hi, guest! Feel free to use our free internet, but be nice! And a close-button, which I guess needs to send a POST to a http server as well, and that I need to record this action in a database, and use the same database to dynamically insert the message above or not. This sounds like too much work for a doubtful amount of gain. It is probably a lot easier to use ipfw or pf+altq to rate limit the bandwidth others can use :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ NOD32 3329 (20080805) Information __ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be a great learning experience, though!
