Hi. I followed http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier and successulyy created my mail server. I was wondering whether there was an option to monitor the usage of the server by each account and to log the number of times a user logs on to send a message, or the number of times a message is sent through my SMTP. And if so - is it possible to monitor the message size as well. Thanks.
I think this tutorial might be interesting for you: http://www.howtoforge.com/mail_statistics_mailgraph_pflogsumm
Thanks falko. That's excellent. I was also wondering about PER USER smtp monitoring. Basically I want to know how many emails each of my mail users is sending, and if possible - the size of each mail... Is there anything out there that can do that?
I think pflogsumm is close to what you're looking for. Otherwise you'd have to parse the mail log with a script yourself.
