OT: Mail/Spam Stats and MRTG
Does anyone have any suggestions for using mrtg to produce a graph showing
the amount of received email and how much of it was flagged as spam?
I am using mrtg, sendmail, and procmail on all the same server.
Thanks!

We uses these scripts with mrtg/postfix/clamav/spamassassin/procmail to
sample the logfiles each time mrtg runs.
mc1:/usr/local/mis/sbin # cat sacleanratio.mrtg
#!/bin/bash
tail -n 1000 /var/log/mail |grep spamd |grep "clean message" |wc -l |sed -e "s/"

Have a look at http://munin.sf.net
It gathers data from several plugins and does nice statistics using
mrtg. Either use it or have a look at the sendmail and
spamassassin-plugins to get ideas how to analyse you logfiles and push
everything to rrdtool.

This wouldn't be perfect, but I'd write a script in the scripting language
of your choice that reads in the mail log, counts the lines containing
"checking message", counts the lines containing "identified spam", then
spits out both numbers in an MRTG-compatible format. I can't remember the
exact config syntax, but I think you can tell MRTG that this is going to be
a constantly-incrementing number, not the diff between this run and the
previous run. If that's not possible, then you'd have to have your script do
the math.
(I'd count the "checking message" lines rather than a message count from
Sendmail because the latter would count messages sent out from the server as
well, not just the messages SA saw.)

You need to write an external "program" (script) for the SNMPdeamon on
the server. It returns a single number computed out of sendmail/procmail
maillog of whatever you want to monitor. Then use MRTG to manipulate the
value (cumulative vs last-5-minutes).
Here we use Cricket to monitor SpamAssassin performance in
quasi-real-time. But I didn't set it up myself.
