These are well and good, but they do not report on POP3 connections. These are primarily SMTP connections.

The other thing I'll mention is I wrote a tool to dump all of the data to SQL so that the data can be parsed and fed into my billing system. That way I can feed the boiled down monthly numbers into a bandwidth parser and calculate the overages for my clients. Pretty handy... does reports too.

Hey Guys;

I have installed the toaster and everything works in a most excellent
fashion. I have written a tool to give me usage and statistics reporting
based on qmail log files. It's designed to help me determine how much
email my clients are sending both using regular email and via EZMLM. I
also wanted it to tell me how much bandwidth people use downloading
their email. Granted, I could likely use a mathematical formula based on
the size of each email and just double the amount delivered to their
mail box and such, but I was hoping for something that would track
connections where nothing was downloaded.

Does this make sense?

My thought was to have the username logged to the pop3 log file. That
would provide the data needed to track the # of bytes and the session.

Has anyone thought of this or should I pursue the more mathematical angle.

Sounds like qmailanalog. See http://cr.yp.to/qmailanalog.html for more
details.

Bill
