[PLUG] pflogsumm: log reports for Postfix

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

I forgot to mention this the other week after Julian's Postfix preso. 
There is a nifty Perl script called pflogsumm in the Debian repos. 
Install that package, then either grab one of the cron examples:
	/usr/share/doc/pflogsumm/examples/cron.*

Or copy mine:
	45 02 * * * /usr/sbin/pflogsumm -d yesterday --problems_first -q -h 0 
-u 0 --no_no_msg_size --ignore_case /var/log/mail.log

And you will get a periodic email (I like daily) about your Postfix 
activity.  If you have more than 1-2 users you may want to omit the "-h 
0 -u 0" parts.

Very cool for keeping an eye on your Postfix server.

And quite insane levels of Spam being blocked lately.  From my 
2013-02-21 report:
	blocked using zen.spamhaus.org (total: 431)
	Helo command rejected: Invalid name (total: 1)
	Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname (total: 9)
	Recipient address rejected: Access denied (total: 5)
	Sender address rejected: Domain not found (total: 1)

That's 431 in 1 day for my dinky little server.  That is usually more 
like <=30.

Later,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
