good point. i didnt think of that, and decided to forget tailing my
maillogs.
imho a local scan would be the *easiest way*, for a good 'c' programmer,
(maybe if i got stoned enough i will look at the sa-exim patch and steal
some lines from the source , add it into localscan and simply write the
mailsize into a file together with local_part and domain , but this
would be a lucky thing if it works.)
i theory, i think adding a one or two line in a quota like function, if
enabled, exim calls this function and uses a custom function to add a
line to the database or a dbm/csv file we can generate a report from easily.
no, i think this could be done with a router.....and changing sources
would be crazy *lol, lets forget this.
another idea:
is there a way to do this by generating an additional custom logfile
like apache does?
i think this would be the *most effective solution* to have custom
logfiles.....can this be done easily? are rules exist to do that?
....ok i will stop thinking now. i simply write down my ideas here,
maybe somebody get another idea.
