Qmail and log management


Hi,

how do you manage qmail's logfile?
With default installation (life with qmail..) log are splitted in several file..

/var/log/qmail/qmail-send/current
/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtp/current
/var/log/mail.log (for qmail-scanner)

so isn't easy to have a clear view of email traffic (as in Postfix for example).
Thankyou

A section in Life with qmail has a solution.

Quote:
qmailanalog processes qmail's log file and produces a series of reports that tell one how much and what kind of work the system is doing. If you need statistics about how many messages are being sent or received, how big they are, and how quickly they're being processed, qmailanalog is what you need.

As a bonus, the matchup program combines qmail's multiple log lines per delivery into one--not unlike the familiar Sendmail logs.
qmail was divided into separate applications by design. This was done for security reasons.
