Postfix Mail Logging/Monitoring

[omega1]

Hello all,

I have been using Virtualmin for a while now and we’re starting to see lots of usage for outgoing mail and I haven’t been able to find a way to monitor this or see any logs around mail other than checking out /var/log/mail.log on the server itself (server is Debian).

Is there anywhere I am missing that this could be done, or is there a plugin that I could use?

Ideally I would be looking for a graph (per account) that I could see volume and trends of outgoing emails being sent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess alternatively, is there a third party tool I could use on the server to get this data separately from mail.log?

Thank you!

How to know active users and volume of use

I would recommend you install Pflogsumm and configure it to send you a daily report via email about Postfix activity. A report from Pflogsumm will have the info that your client seeks (and lots more) that you should be aware of as well.

Thanks for your reply. Is this something I can install from Virtualmin (as maybe a plugin) or do I need to install it on the server itself?

I did take a look at Pflogsumm so have already been reading about it. Just wondered if it is something can can/should be installed within Virtualmin or just externally on the server itself.

Thank you!

External to Virtualmin.
