I am trying to get mailping to work. When finished, I want it to be
able to produce graphs in Munin for our three mail servers. At the
moment, I am trying out the new-to-be-put-in-production-soon server:
mail2a
I am monitoring it from a server (archive.sun.ac.za) which is not part
of the mail gateway.
I have the following in /etc/mailping:
/etc/mailping/mail2a
/etc/mailping/mail2a/admin
/etc/mailping/mail2a/failtime
/etc/mailping/mail2a/interval
/etc/mailping/mail2a/to
/etc/mailping/mail2a/from
and 'to' contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
'from': [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In /etc/aliases on mail2a I have:
mailping: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The following exists in /var/lib/mailping
|-- Maildir [error opening dir]
`-- state
`-- mail2a
|-- failtime
|-- incoming
|-- pending
|-- success
`-- warntime
5 directories, 3 files
14:15:00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/lib/mailping$ sudo tree .
.
|-- Maildir
| |-- cur
| |-- new
| `-- tmp
`-- state
`-- mail2a
|-- failtime
|-- incoming
|-- pending
|-- success
`-- warntime
8 directories, 3 files
When /var/lib/mailping/state/mail2a/success is a normal file, the
error message is:
$ sudo munin-run mailping-success fetch
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/etc/munin/plugins/mailping-success", line 69, in ?
dump()
File "/etc/munin/plugins/mailping-success", line 61, in dump
success = fileutil.getTime(os.path.join(statedir, 'state', dirname,
'success'))
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MailPing/fileutil.py", line 16, in
getTime
return float(l)
ValueError: empty string for float()
When it is a directory the error message is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/etc/munin/plugins/mailping-success", line 69, in ?
dump()
File "/etc/munin/plugins/mailping-success", line 61, in dump
success = fileutil.getTime(os.path.join(statedir, 'state', dirname,
'success'))
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MailPing/fileutil.py", line 8, in
getTime
f=open(path)
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory
The documentation is not very clear to me. I will appreciate some
help.
Regards
Johann

us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is
high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward
them that fear him. As far as the east is from the
west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from
us." Psalms 103:10-12
