 Subject: [qmr] Nightly qmail-scanner stats with qms-analog (qmail-scanner
version 1.22 only)
      To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok, I have nightly emailed stats working for qmail-scanner version 1.22
with my utility qms-analog.
It works with QmailRocks, qmail-scanner-1.22 (only), clamAV, and
Spamassassin.


Here is the README file from the distro:


qms-analog: Qmail-Scanner Log File Analyzer
-------------------------------------------

Version: 0.1.0


Distribution Files
------------------

Makefile                   - builds the qms-analog utility
qmail-scanner-1.22.diff    - patch file to add event logging
qmailstats                 - improved script which invokes qms-analog
qms-analog-types.txt       - defines the event log types
qms-analog.c               - source file for the utility
README                     - this file



What You Get
------------

/var/qmail/qmailstats
  My updated version that tidies things up a bit and invokes qms-analog
  to produce the qmail-scanner stats at the bottom of the nightly
  Qmail stats email (see QmailRocks procedure for details).

/var/qmail/bin/qms-analog
  The utility which takes /var/spool/qmailscan/qms-events.log records
  as input from stdin and generates statistics on stdout.

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl
  The patched version which generates nice logs in
  /var/spool/qmailscan/qms-events.log.



!!!!!!!! ATTENTION: READ THIS FIRST !!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------
qms-analog requires a patch be applied to your qmail-scanner-1.22
distribution in order to generate a new, more legible log file.

The following are minimum requirements for qms-analog to work:
1) qmail-scanner version 1.22
2) ClamAV
3) Spamassassin

If you don't have these, and are unwilling to upgrade or install
them, DO NOT USE qms-analog. I cannot be responsible for what might
happen.

Generally speaking, qms-analog is intended as a supplement to the
QmailRocks system. Using it outside of QmailRocks is not tested or
supported. You are on your own...


If you meet these requirements, let's get started...



Note Concerning Where This Fits In the QmailRocks Procedure
-----------------------------------------------------------

I would suggest installing qmail-scanner-1.22 instead of 1.21 in
step 14 of the QmailRocks procedure. Then install the patch (step A
below) prior to configuring qmail-scanner-1.22 (the two ./configure
instructions). Finally, install qms-analog (step B below) at the
end of step 14 in the QmailRocks procedure.



A. Patching the qmail-scanner-1.22 Distribution
-----------------------------------------------

1) Obtain the source distribution qmail-scanner-1.22.tar.gz.

2) Extract it to the location of your choice.

3) Make a backup copy of the qmail-scanner-1.22 directory before
   patching it:
       cp -R qmail-scanner-1.22 qmail-scanner-1.22-orig

4) Copy qmail-scanner-1.22.diff from the qms-analog distro to the
   qmail-scanner-1.22 directory where the tarball was extracted.
       cp <path_qms_analog>/qmail-scanner-1.22.diff <path_qm-scanner-1.22>

5) Change directory to the qmail-scanner-1.22 distribution:
       cd <path_qm-scanner-1.22>

6) Patch qmail-scanner-1.22:
       patch -p1 < qmail-scanner-1.22.diff

7) Configure qmail-scanner-1.22 as described in the qmail-scanner-1.22
   README with the following additions which can be added as options
   to the configure script:

   a) --sa_delete=x - restored for 1.22 by this patch. The patch is worth
      it just for this - x is the amount over sa_max required to delete
      a SPAM email msg (I like a value of 1). Remember a value of "0"
      disables msg deletion for SPAM :(.  Defaults to disabled.

   b) --qms-log=[0|1] - enables or disables generation of the
      qms-events.log file (which is needed by qms-analog). Defaults to
      enabled.

8) Configure the rest of the QmailRocks system as documented.


B. Building qms-analog and installing it with a new qmailstats script
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Become root
2) cd to the qms-analog directory (wherever you extracted it)
3) make all



C. Testing
----------

Allow several logs to accumulate in /var/spool/qmailscan/qms-events.log.
Execute /var/qmail/qmailstats.  This should generate the nightly email
to the postmaster including the qms-analog stats at the bottom.



D. Notes
--------

If you have any problems, first just restore the original qmail-scanner-1.22
distribution (we backed it up, right?) and configure it as normal. Also,
let me know, perhaps I can fix it or help you through a simple problem.
