Ok, good point on the alias thing. I will keep that in mind. As for the multiplatform thing, I am hoping that by support mono that will cover the linux world happy.

Ok, not having a database to store the data is no biggie. By asking if your software will support user/domain alias I was thinking of past log analyzers, every analyzers I tried became completely crazy when reporting stats on a user who has one or more aliases. Everything was screwed up, [EMAIL PROTECTED] was reported as a user but in fact, it wasn't an aliase nor a user. Just to let you know that it seems to be complicated to code. Making your software platform independent would be awesome, I mean that having a perl script or a php script would make linux and win32 folks happy. 2cents and sorry for the terrible english fred -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Anderson Sent: 28 avril, 2004 11:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Re: Xmail reports -- anyone have a wish list? I am leaning towards .NET (and maybe Mono) for the language. I don't think I will use any database, that way it will not have any dependencies. What do you main by user and domain alias support? Tell me more. And yes the report engine will be released as open source. Also, for a front end, it could be done in anything (Perl, ASP, ASP.NET) because the actual report engine will be something that is scheduled or run with parameters and it will output the result to a file.

Hi, Glad someone is thinking for writing a decent log analyzer! Here is what I think should be in your project. -Storing the data in a MySQL database? -Will you release your software under the GPL? -Written in PHP or Perl? No ASP please hehe -User and domain alias support? Will all these features your software gonna rox. 2cents -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shawn Anderson Sent: 28 avril, 2004 08:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Xmail reports -- anyone have a wish list? Howdy, I am starting to create a reporting system for the XMail log files (I have been needing something for a while), so I thought I would see if anyone had their own wish list. Right now, here is what I am thinking: Features: - Automatic report generation on a scheduled time frame - Multiple output type (xml, html, etc) - Graphs Reports (all will have a date range filter) - Total summary - Total summary by log type - Summary by day/hour - Summary by incoming domain/user/ip address - Summary by outgoing domain/user/ip address - Top ten incoming domains/user/ip address - Top ten outgoing domains/user/ip address - Top ten blocked domains/users/ip address (CustomMapsList) Anyone have any thoughts and/or suggestions?
