Hi Everyone, Based on user feedback, a host of new features and refinements have been added to qmail-logfilter. It can be downloaded here: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/[email protected] New Features: 1.) Ability to extract the Message-ID from the data stream and log it. Specified by an argument. 3.) Ability to concatenate two lines broken up by recordio, if they are sequential. 3.) Greatly improved synching with tcpserver messages that should remove the need for full resets -- this is most noticeable on busy mail servers. 4.) Improved ability to catch normal data streams, and the ability to catch TLS data streams 5.) New command line arguments, such as: a.) Ability to filter out all local, all remote commands, or both. b.) Option to log or not to log the Message-ID c.) 4 levels of verbosity to STDERR. d.) Option to specify a child program(s) to run. Also, several bug fixes that should greatly increase the accuracy of the program. For those of you new to the program: NAME qmail-logfilter - Filters out the data portion of an email in a tcpserver/recordio data stream SYNOPSIS qmail-logfilter [options] [program to direct output to] DESCRIPTION The purpose of this program is to allow qmail, running under tcpserver (which is part of Daemon Tools, by DJB) and recordio (which is part of ucspi-tcp. by DJB) to log the SMTP conversation and Message-ID, without also logging the DATA portion of the email (i.e. the email body). It expects a tcpserver/recordio data stream as input, and outputs to stdout by default, or you may optionally specify a program (like multilog) to which qmail-logfilter will execute and direct it's output .
