I see it is available in ISP Config, but the values are all 0. How can I go about enabling this feature as I have a lot of clients using just mail and I am wanting to keep track of the data usage. TIA
Disabling Rspamd will not help you to solve the issue, as Rspamd is not the cause. The reason that you do not have this kind of log is that Rspamd can not write it. You could switch to an older spam filter, Amavisd. Then you have this kind of log but worse spam filtering results. Also, we will probably remove Amavisd in the future as we have not supported it on recent systems for several years now, so your system will not be upgradable.
Okay... so my best bet is to code something that tracks this externally from ISPConfig. This will involve some thinking... but I will come up with something eventually... Thank Till...
Hi Till. I have done some reading. Both Postfix and Dovecot can track traffic usage. As it stands, my ISPC server is tracking traffic usage by default for Dovecot, but not for Postfix. I am going to whip up a Bash script for now, and make the single line adjustment for Postfix so that it includes bytes in and bytes out. I will record everything for now in a Bash script, and when I know it all works well, I will revert to you about steps so it can be implemented in a future version of ISPConfig. I am sure many others will find traffic logging for emails of value. Especially guys like me who have a lot of clients that are only hosting emails.
I realise that... but I am working out how ISPConfig could do the traffic logging from Dovecot and Postfix. I will write my script in Bash, when it is working, I will create a Repo on the Git server and you can take a look. It seems simple enough to implement. And like I said, I have a lot of clients that are hosting just emails. I need to know that they are not over their alotted traffic allocation, as if my server goes over the allotted allocation from my provider, then I get nasty bills that I didn't budget for. Right now I have been building a Bash script that tallys up everything that is everything for each and every customer and puts it in a JSONL file. The next step is to build a month end PDF report that get's attached to the clients invoice email, as well setup that I get push notifications to my mobile phone when a client goes over. I am not running hard limits for space and traffic. But if a client goes over, I can contact them and advise them the way forward.
What happens when e-mail account is cracked and starts sending 10.000 e-mails per hour? Is client billed for the traffic?
That is up to you as the host provider. My advice: Secure your server. Force strong passwords. Use failtoban. Your server/vps provider isn't going to feel sorry for you because one of your clients got hacked. You gotta run a tight ship. Some server/vps providers have very high overage fees. When one of my clients starts to send a crap ton of emails per hour, I shut down their address immeadiately and contact them with a new password. But it rarely happens for me.
I have also dealt with this before and I have created a Perl script that logs the mail traffic in a MySQL database in real time. rspamdlogger.pl
