It does just that. Important: see "NOTES" below!! =============== poplog begin =============== #!/bin/sh newmail=`ls $PWD/Maildir/new/ | wc -l` newmailbytes=`du -sb $PWD/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1` oldmail=`ls $PWD/Maildir/cur/ | wc -l` oldmailbytes=`du -sb $PWD/Maildir/cur/ | cut -f 1` USER="Username: `basename $PWD`" pushd .. 1>/dev/null DIR="`basename $PWD`" popd 1>/dev/null echo "$USER@$DIR" "New mails: " "$newmail" "(" "$newmailbytes" " \ Bytes); Old mails: " "$oldmail" " (" "$oldmailbytes" " Bytes)" | \ /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d 18 pop="$1"; shift; exec "$pop" "$@" =============== poplog end =============== "poplog" is called in my qmail startup script like so: ============================== /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -RHO -v 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ FQDN /data/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw.log_to_local2 /batches/poplog \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger \ pop3d 18 & ============================== NOTE! ===== My pop users were clogging up /var/log/mail, so I hard coded syslog facility "local2" into qmail-vchkpw (saved as "vchkpw.log_to_local2") in the above example, so all pop activity goes to /var/log/pop3. I assume you're using standard logging, so please replace all instances of "18" with "2" for standard "/var/log/mail" logging. ALSO replace FQDN with your own FQDN, of course!! Best regards, Barry
