A good stats script?
What is a good script that folks are using to generate SA stats off a mail
log?

I run FBSD Unix, but imagine Linux setup is similar. Here's how I did it:
1) modify /etc/syslog.conf to add a facility, like so:
# local2.* /var/log/spamd.log
2) touch a file /var/log/spamd.log
3) set up rotation in /etc/newsyslog.conf
# /var/log/spamd.log 640 7 * @T00 B
4) restart syslogd
5) restart spamd with the above facility:
# /usr/local/bin/spamd --syslog=local2 -u whoever -x -d -r
/var/run/spamd/spamd.pid
The above spamd flags are for my own needs, but you may need some different
ones.
See man spamd(1) for the flags.... --syslog=local2 could be shortened to -s
local2
The facility "local2" depends on whether you have others local0 & local1
already used as I do.
Otherwise, use local0.
That ought to do it.... Disclaimer: there may be other ways.
HTH.

Mike:
Yes, it works on a spamd log. In fact, I re-direct all spamd info to
/var/log/spamd.log and run the script against that pure file.
I downloaded that script while SA-3.0 was going through shake-down through
various stages of RCs. I noted the file is dated July 2004, so suspect I
got it from a tarball.
If you or anyone can't locate it & needs a copy, I guess it would be okay
if I posted it for download.
Let me know.....

Well, you might be interested in this report from sa-stats.pl showing 4+
hours of scans by SA. Most of my filtering is done by 3 or 4 other layers
at the MTA, so this is all that gets through to the SA that I use for the
final filtering layer. Most is ham at this point.
The top half is for spams and the bottom for ham:

Nope...not that I'm aware of...but, then again, I don't use all of the
options available.

I am mainly looking for one that reports on the rulesets that are catching
the spam too. I don't think sa-stats.pl does that?
