Sendmail Logcheck (Perl)

Use this script to analyse sendmail logfiles created by the syslog daemon. It was tested with SuSE Linux 8.2.

The reports are available in HTML and ASCII formats.

The ASCII format is useful if this class is included into a script that you run from the command line (e.g. "perl logcheck.pl"). 

By default, webservers like apache etc. don't have permission to read the sendmail logfile.

He could copy the logfile into a password-protected directory within your webserver's document root, and change the permissions so that your webserver can access this file.

Then, use the LOGCHECK-class with this file. For security reasons, you should not make the sendmail logfile world-readable.
