NAME

Mail::Toaster::Logs

SYNOPSIS

Perl modules related to mail logging. These modules are used primarily in maillogs but will be used in ttoaster-watcher.pl and toaster_setup.pl as well.

CheckSetup

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CheckSetup($conf);

CheckForFlags

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CheckForFlags($conf, $prot, $debug);

$conf is a hashref of configuration values, assumed to be pulled from toaster-watcher.conf.$prot is the protocol we're supposed to work on. Do the appropriate things based on what argument is passed on the command line.

CountRBL

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountRBL($conf, $debug);

Count the number of connections we've blocked (via rblsmtpd) for each RBL that we use.

CountSMTP

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountSMTP($conf, $syslog, $debug);

Count the number of times users authenticate via SMTP-AUTH to our qmail-smtpd daemon.

CountSend

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountSend($conf, $debug);

Count the number of messages we deliver, and a whole mess of stats from qmail-send.

CountIMAP

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountIMAP($conf, $syslog, $debug);

Count the number of connections and successful authentications via IMAP and IMAP-SSL.

CountPOP3

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountPOP3($conf, $syslog, $debug);

Count the number of connections and successful authentications via POP3 and POP3-SSL.

CountWebMail

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountWebMail($conf, $syslog, $debug);

Count the number of webmail authentications.

CountSpamA

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountSpamA($conf, $syslog, $debug);

Count statistics logged by SpamAssassin.

CountQMS

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CountQMS($conf, $syslog, $debug);

Count statistics logged by qmail scanner.

RollSendLogs

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        RollSendLogs($conf, $debug);

Roll the qmail-send multilog logs. Update the maillogs counter.

RollRblLogs

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        RollRblLogs($conf, $debug);

Roll the qmail-smtpd logs (without 2>&1 output generated by rblsmtpd).

RollPOP3Logs

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        RollPOP3Logs($conf);

These logs will only exist if tcpserver debugging is enabled. Rolling them is not likely to be necessary but the code is here should it ever prove necessary.

CompressYesterdaysLogfile

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CompressYesterdaysLogfile($conf, $file, $debug);

You'll have to guess what this does. ;)

PurgeLastMonthLogs

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        PurgeLastMonthLogs($conf, $protdir, $debug);

Keep guessing...

RotateMailLogs

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        RotateMailLogs(@dirs);

Tell multilog to rotate the maillogs for the array of dirs supplied.

SetupDateVariables

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        SetupDateVariables($offset);

CheckLogFiles

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        CheckLogFiles(@check);

ProcessPOP3Logs

ProcessRblLogs

CountRblLine

ProcessSendLogs

CountSendLine

ReadCounters

        use Mail::Toster::Logs;
        ReadCounters($file, $debug);

$file is the file to read from. $debug is optional, it prints out verbose messages during the process. The sub returns a hashref full of key value pairs.

WriteCounters

        use Mail::Toster::Logs;
        WriteCounters($file, %values);

$file is the logfile to write to.

%values is a hash of value=count style pairs.

WhatAmI

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        WhatAmI(;$debug)

Determine what the filename of this program is. This is used in maillogs, as maillogs gets renamed in order to function as a log post-processor for multilog.

SetSyslog

        use Mail::Toaster::Logs;
        SetSyslog();

Determine where syslog.mail is logged to. Right now we just test based on the OS you're running on and assume you've left it in the default location. This is easy to expand later.

Design considerations

  • Counters will be polled via SNMP. Script must be able to return counts instantly, even when dealing with HUGE logs.

  • Must work with multilog and syslog logging formats

  • Outputs data in a format suitable for polling via SNMP

  • Simple configuration

  • Fail safe, errors must be noticed and reported but not fatal
