mail log monitoring like gmail
hi, i am thinking of using James as my email server. however does it
have any plugin which monitors the logs and detects whether a user is
logging in from a unusual location or ip address?

Hi Benoit,
Thank you for your reply.
Adding a log does sound like it would help in my case. However I
suspect moving from Postfix to James will not be something I can
undertake immediately.
I am currently trying to convert
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DSTAAL/Mail-Log-Parse-1.0400/lib/Mail/Log/Parse/Postfix.pm
to Java, plus another perl module I wrote to use it, so I can figure out
who is signing in to send mail.
Now I am finding out that it is possible to do this by writing a postfix
filter
https://thecodingmachine.io/triggering-a-php-script-when-your-postfix-server-receives-a-mail
But I am more attracted to "the Java way of doing things" as writing
loads of mind bending scripts in different languages is a pain.
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
James does not currently have such systems.
A simple enhancement would be a log upon authentication success, logging
user name and ip. This would allow further afterward analyses (for
instance in a Kibana dashboard). All protocols (SMTP, IMAP, etc...)
would need to write such a log.
Would that fit your needs? Or would you like to have something more complex?
Would you like to contribute it?
Cheers,
