What is SendmailAnalyzer ?

SendmailAnalyzer as is name suggest is a free Sendmail log analyzer. It process maillog files and generate dynamic statistics in HTML and graphical output. The reports are generated in real time so that it let you know at any moment what is going on your mail servers. It use time (hour, day, month and year views) and cross-linked navigation for easy use.

SendmailAnalyzer is easy to install and highly configurable to match the dozen of Sendmail possible configurations. It also support report for all the major milter or sendmail filters like SpamAssassin, MailScanner, Clamav, Amavis, RBL check, J-ChkMail, etc. SendmailAnalyzer is really helpful for IT reporting.

Collected data are stored in flat files that are automatically archived or delete to keep disk space. All reports before the current day are cached to save system resources and are displayed in less than 1 second.

SendmailAnalyzer can be run on a home dedicated mail server, on multiple enterprise mail servers and on ISP mail servers for free. A single instance of SendmailAnalyzer can be used to monitor multiple sendmail server throught rsyslog. Since version 6.2 multiple rsyslog host report can be merge in a single report.

This is the most advanced and complete statistics tool dedicated to the great Sendmail MTA. It's goal is not to support any kind of MTA or other log format but only being a full featured tool for Sendmail users and administrators. If you're searching something more general and not free take a look at SawMill, it's not so bad :-)
