NAME

smaillog - parse Smail 3.1 logs

SYNOPSIS

smaillog [ -l ] [ -d ] < input > output

DESCRIPTION

smaillog parses log files produced by smail and produces a report showing the flow of mail. smaillog recognizes the following options:

-l: add the byte count of each message as it was calculated by smail to the report.
-d: Add the date of the message to the report. smaillog normally runs once a day, but for accumulated log files, this option will show not only the time when the message was sent/received, but also the date.

EXAMPLE

$ smaillog < /usr/spool/smail/log/logfile
07:05:18: unido!root => jpm
15:21:54: jpm => jpm@jptosh

$ smaillog -d < /usr/spool/smail/log/logfile
04/02/92 07:05:18: unido!root => jpm
04/02/92 15:21:54: jpm => jpm@jptosh

$ smaillog -l -d < /usr/spool/smail/log/logfile
04/02/92 07:05:18:   9196 unido!root => jpm
04/02/92 15:21:54:     99 jpm => jpm@jptosh

NOTES

The byte count produced by the -l option does not take the headers of the message into account.

FILES

Input for smaillog must be in smail log-file format
