The Sendmail/Postfix log analyzerSendmailAnalyzer as is name suggest is a free Sendmail/Postfix log analyzer. It process maillog files and generate dynamic statistics in HTML and graphical output. The reports are generated in real time so that it let you know at any moment what is going on your mail servers. It use time (hour, day, month and year views) and cross-linked navigation for easy use. SendmailAnalyzer is easy to install and highly configurable to match the dozen of Sendmail possible configurations. It also support report for all the major milter or sendmail filters like SpamAssassin, MailScanner, Clamav, Amavis, RBL check, J-ChkMail, etc. SendmailAnalyzer is really helpful for IT reporting. Collected data are stored in flat files that are automatically archived or delete to keep disk space. All reports before the current day are cached to save system resources and are displayed in less than 1 second. SendmailAnalyzer can be run on a home dedicated mail server, on multiple enterprise mail servers and on ISP mail servers for free. A single instance of SendmailAnalyzer can be used to monitor multiple sendmail server throught rsyslog. Since version 6.2 multiple rsyslog host report can be merge in a single report. This is the most advanced and complete statistics tool dedicated to the great Sendmail MTA. It's goal is not to support any kind of MTA or other log format but only being a full featured tool for Sendmail users and administrators. If you're searching something more general and not free take a look at SawMill, it's not so bad :-) NewsVersion 8.7 - Saturday January 05 2013This release fixes a major bug which prevented logs from being parsed after the new year change.

Backward compatibility of data files are fully preserved but you may experience an error message on hours views on old cached data.

Remember to remove the day_cache perl script ans replace your call to day_cache in to your cron job by the new command: sa_cache --actual-day-only If you want to be able to see the old hours view without error messages or no record found you can keep the previous version of the sa_report.cgi script to still view those report.

Only status upper or equal than 1% are shown. - Add sender relay percentage pie graph on Top Statistics Senders screen.
