I keep telling people that I get about 500 mail messages a day; but I'd really like some hard figures (maybe even ones I can graph). the ideal would be to do this without installing any system-wide software on the server; so I'm thinking there's got to be a pretty trivial way to do a simple counter in procmail. even something as simple as: echo 1 >> mailcounter-`date +%F` in a procmail recipe would be easy to reckon up by running 'wc -l' on the resulting file, and would be adequate for my purposes. some quick experiments were not successful with this; but that's because I'm not a procmail guru. :) so has anyone done anything like this? or do you have an alternate method? I know the perl hax0rs will tell me to write a perl script and run it over my mbox files, then generate a pretty graph using some perl module and GD, but that's a bit more time-intensive than I care to be involved in right now. :) -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com
