milter as a logging tool

am 07.01.2008 08:01:47 von wschow

Dear all,

I wanna know if any milter exists for logging messages'
headers and size in file format. For example,

Date=2008-01-07|Time=12:09:08|Queue-id=xxxxxx|From=|To="",To=...,To=...|Bcc=...|Cc=...|Subject="XXXXX"|Size=1024

Therefore I can check everything easily.

Thank you very much.

I think there are two that could help. I don't know what OS you use so
take that into consideration. The first seems a little bit of an
overkill but it will do what you want.

The second would require more work but without all the overhead.
milter-cli from snert.com would let you use bash-syslog or the logger
program available in bsd and linux. You might have to define the vars
for the milter in the m4 to pass it what you want it to log. Don't
really know abot that part.

Look at MIMEDefang: http://www.mimedefang.org

Because it gives you hooks into the Milter at each phase of the mail
transaction and a couple of different ways to log anything you want to
log (or really, do anything Perl can do...) it can handle what you want
as long as you can write a trivial amount of Perl.
