Attached is a little perl script which parses /var/log/maillog and lists
the last time users logged in.
It can be easily adapted to do an in depth scan any/all log file.

Humm.. definitely it's a hack, but hay it works. Slow because every line
of the log must be examined and there could be many thousands. Why would
anybody care if it's slow?
It's only unreliable in the context of different log formats, so modify
it to your requirements. ;-)

This does only work, if IMAP users are system users - which most of the
time is not the case.
Perl is your friend.
Pass your imap log for User logged in. Extract username and
Your maillog contains the info you require.
As root on a linux install try:
# cat /var/log/maillog | grep login
Which should give you a list of all login details up to the last date
stamp on maillog (or whatever your log file is named).
Your syslog is your friend.

With the caveat that on most Linux systems, the logs roll at 0400 Sunday

have to go through maillog, maillog.1, maillog.2 and so on to get info
on users who logon inrequently.

Good Afternoon,
I am hoping that someone can help in getting last login date for all of my

I can use. Thank you in advance for any and all help.
