mtalog and Exim

[stefaweb]

mtalog database is empty with Exim. Seems to work only with Sendmail and Postfix. Not sure to understand how it works. Where to look to implement this?

The last 3 columns are empty in rep_total_mail_by_date.php.

For postfix this the mtalog is filled by parsing the mail.log file. This is done in postfix_relay.php. It is contains a few errors. I have rewritten the file and extended to log more details. (Greylisted,SPF,MTA,Noqueue) If you want I can post the file here.

@PieterJ yes please, fork the repository and create a pull request as explained here

[PieterJ]

Will do this afternoon, Please note that I have also changed the rep_total_mail_by_date.php to show more columns. I don't think it's wise to merge it into mailwatch.

[endelwar]

If the new columns can be useful to someone we could add a flag (SHOW_MORE_INFO_ON_REPORT_GRAPH maybe?) and hide or show them based on conf.php

[PieterJ]

Will try to fork this afternoon.

Is it mail.log or maillog?

On Debian, we only have

/var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.err

[stefaweb]

And /var/log/mail.warn

[PieterJ]

On postfix/ubuntu it's /var/log/mail.log

[endelwar]

It depends on distribution and version: I remember that on red hat 9 it was maillog, on debian 6, 7 and 8 it is mail.log

@PieterJ did you manged to look at this?

[stefaweb]

Can we do something for Exim to fill up the last 3 columns?

Seems to be in mailq.php but not easy to add.

For Exim stuff are in /var/log/exim4/rejectlog

Exim needs more love. I'm going to install a test exim dev machine, but this will not be fast...

[stefaweb]

Not urgent. 1.3...

Have taken a fast look inside mailq.php regs and Co. Hot!

I can help to find the right stuff to look for inside the Exim logs.

@PieterJ This one has been bothering me for a while, and I'd love to have the fix

Could you either post a diff of your changes, or email me the changed files directly? I've love to see what changes you've made.

[stefaweb]

Fixed columns view in #342.

an Exim log parser should be written to mimic postfix log parsing behaviour, so that there information are reported in database
