Pflogsumm is a log analyzer for Postfix. It can mail out a summery on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and is fully configurable. The generated report can show you patterns in email traffic so you can better determine bandwidth limitations, mail server abusers or if your mail server needs to be upgraded. Statistics can be very helpful in showing, for example, when most of your mail is sent or received or if that one mail user is sending out more than their fair share of mail. Pflogsumm will give you the ability to quickly determine what machines on your network are the top (ab)users and the proof to follow up company policies with numbers.

Pflogsumm is a single perl file and its only dependancies are perl, the perl module Date::Calc (which is probably already installed on your system) and the proper location of a Postfix log file.

pflogsumm.pl is designed to provide an over-view of postfix activity, with just enough detail to give the administrator a "heads up" for potential trouble spots. The following is an over-view of the reports produced.
