Just want to share a trick I'm using with you all to gather data for
black/white lists and such. This is direct simple, works, and doesn't
require scanning and parsing logs files. It uses the Exim readsocket
command to send one line messages to a server that collects these one
line messages into a text file that is then processed with whatever
scripts you want to run.
First - on the Exim side:
set acl_c_socket = ${readsocket{inet:1.2.3.4:567}{black
$sender_host_address\n}{2s}{}{}}
This send the message "black" followed by the IP address to server
1.2.3.4 on port 567
This will receive messages from multiple servers. What I do then is
gather up the files once a minute and process them into my black lists.
It works well for me and I'm sure a lot of you will find it interesting
and useful.
