First congrats on your daughter’s birth. Be happy and be safe. I have a question related to postfix. I want to monitor one single email user of my domain. e.g. i want to monitor ne@xyz.com how many emails it has sent out, how many sent successfully, how many rejected and how many deffered. now i have a script with me that works fine for me and give me output like how many total ne@xyz..com sent out, how many rejected and how many deffered. i’m goin to share this script with you here. what i want to add to this script is that it should give me the email addresses that are rejected. you know what i mean. it current tells me 750 emails are sent by this user. 200 rejected 100 deffered etc i want to know what email addresses are rejected. so if 200 are rejected it should give me 200 emails address aswell so i can see if there is spell mistake or something. here is the script. please have a look at this. or if you know any other software to monitor this kindly let me know. i want to moniter my postfix user who is sending out newsletters. i want reports how many are sent how many rejected how many deffered etc. which rejected emails.

here is script that i am using but it’s not givin me emails rejected. just the counts.

#!/usr/bin/perl
# vim:ts=2:sw=2:expandtab:cindent

### MAKE MODIFICATIONS FOR DATE AND SENDING EMAIL ADDRESS HERE ###

#$date=”Oct 14[5-9]“;
$date=”Dec 18″;
#$sender=”(.*)\@domain.com”; # Matches any sender from domain.com
#$sender=”username\@domain.com”; # Matches abc@domain.com
$sender=”user\@domain.com”; # Matches user@domain.com

### END OF USER MODIFICATIONS ###

$sent = 0;
$bounced = 0;
$deferred = 0;

$logFile=”/var/log/maillog”;
open LOGFILE, “<", $logFile;
@rawLogs = ;
close LOGFILE;

$date =~ s/^([A-Z][a-z]{2})( )([0-9])$/$1 $3/;
printf(“%s %s\n”,$sender, $date);

if ( grep(/(^[A-Z][a-z]{2} [0-9])$/, $date) ) {
$field = 6;
} else {
$field = 5;
}

@logs = grep(/$date .* postfix\/qmgr\[[0-9]+\]: .* from=/i, @rawLogs);
foreach (@logs) {
@line = split(/ /);
push(@msgIds, $line[$field]);
}

@sent = grep (/status=sent/, @rawLogs);
@bounced = grep (/status=bounced/, @rawLogs);

@ids = grep {defined} map {
if (exists $u{$_}) {
undef;
} else {
$u{$_}=undef; $_;
}
} @msgIds;

undef %u;

$i=0;
$cnt = $#ids + 1;
foreach $id(@ids) {
$final=0;
if (grep(/$id/, @sent)) {
$sent++;
$final=1;
} elsif (grep(/$id/, @bounced)) {
$bounced++;
$final=1;
}
if ($final != 1) {
$deferred++;
}
$i++;
}
print “Messages Delivered: $sent\n”;
print “Messages Bounced: $bounced\n”;
print “Messages Deferred: $deferred\n”;
print “Total Sent: “. ( $sent + $bounced + $deferred ) .”\n”;

Thanks Again,

Martin

cat mail.txt | mutt -a attachment -s subject me@to.com

The above two do not 'attach' the file to message. Instead, they are in the BODY of the message. Why is this?

Using opensuse 11.2 (postfix)

yum -y install mutt

To use it is simply

mutt -s “Subject text” emailaddress < filetosend.odt

I almost only use it from scripts though, backing up configs and stuff to a file dump email address

mutt -s ‘subject’ -i file1 -a file2 -c user1@domain -b user2@domain user3@doman </dev/null

-s Specify the subject of the message.
-i Specify a file to include into the body of a message.
-a Attach a file to your message using MIME.
-c Specify a carbon-copy (CC) recipient
-b Specify a blind-carbon-copy (BCC) recipient

The redirect from /dev/null prevents mutt from going into interactive mode
