I work for a small hosting company. We host websites and people's mail on a shared hosting server. Mail is accessed through POP3 or IMAP. I need to be able to measure the IMAP size for accounting, since people pay for the bandwidth and I need to be able to justify it in my reports :-) It can already be done with POP3, where there is a "size" value: dovecot: May 07 09:11:54 Info: POP3([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=2/29469, del=2/2, size=29433 armijn -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.uulug.nl/ | UULug: Utrecht Linux Users Group -------------------------------------------------------------------------
