Sendmail & Mailscanner (alternate)

any updates to this yet? I really want to use this particular script, but earlier someone stated they were rewriting it for an easier install. I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer if it isn't to far off from being done.

Any word on that?

Cheers.

Is there any update to this? I'm looking forward to getting this working. I was able to get the graph to display, but all the numbers are staying at 0. Any ideas?

Greetings. I'm using these scripts as a starting point, but want to make a few modifications. I have already opted to go with BFD's (http://www.rfxnetworks.com/bfd.php) tlog script for managing the tailing of the log file instead of the time_trigger. This makes more sense to me. What I am trying to figure out now is a way of measuring incoming and outgoing messages in sendmail without having to list the domains on the server. This is not practical, as new domains are added frequently, and the list is quite long. Has anyone found an alternate solution?

These machines are running Ensim, so I decided to have the scripts look for "mailer=virthostmail" and "stat=Sent" for incoming, and "mailer=esmtp" and "stat=Sent" for outgoing. That fixed that.

Now if only I could get the graph template to import successfully ;-s
Getting the error:

Error: XML: Cacti version does not exist.

Using Cacti 0.8.6g.

EDIT: Upgrading to 0.8.6h fixed that.

Has anyone found a way to display the total number of sent/received/spam/virus messages in a comment, similar to the way total bandwidth usage can be displayed?

When I add your template it says to me :"Error: XML: Hash version does not exist." ??

Oddly enough, while the script works to collect the data:

[root@MAILER-02]# ./stats2.sh
.1.3.6.1.4.100.6
gauge
Start time: 20060509101112
Year run: 2006
3890

And I put the correct lines into snmpd.conf and restart snmpd:

#Count the number of Spam messages dropped by spamass in the last 5 minutes
pass .1.3.6.1.4.100.6 /bin/sh /path/to/stats2.sh

When I run:
snmpget -v 1 -c public IP_ADDRESS .1.3.6.1.4.100.6

I get this:

Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: SNMPv2-SMI::private.100.6

Weird??!?? Any ideas?

Hi,

It seems this script search for a line with 5 minutes before now and a sent mail, but if we don't have sent mail at this moment but just one or more minute(s) later the counter isn't incremented at all.

I'm not very good in awk syntax, maybe there is a nicer way to do that, but I think the script should be :

Hi all, I'm back! Sorry for being MIA for a while and missed out on all the questions. I'm terribly sorry.

I just wanted to post in this thread that I've finally finished the new version of the scripts and templates. These ones are WAY more effecient! No longer do the scripts beat the hell out of your mail severs to find out what's going on. Also these new scripts can handle servers that have high load, so no more graphs with gaps in them!

I'm just letting the scripts run for the next 24 hours on my servers just to test them for a while. So baring any problems in the next 24 hours, come tommorow I'll create a new post for the new version. Hopefully any outstanding problems will be solved in the new version. But then again, maybe not.
