No, but ...

| and how many errors occured during the last month. I have no access to

| get the information by eMail, in order to know how the system works.

qmailanalog is your friend. Just set up a cron job to run the qmailanalog
scripts of your choice and mail you the result.

Good, you already found the solution.

Your tai64nfrac binary seems to be broken. Recompile with the original
source code from http://www.qmail.org/tai64nfrac.

Hi Vinay,

please post answers to the list instead sending them to me. Thanks.

> I think the problem may be that i havent compiled the code originally.

Well... ouch.

> How would I compile this?

Copy the tai64nfrac.c code from the post at http://qmail.org/tai64nfrac
into a file (start after the "Content-Disposition:" line; don't include
the last line which is only an end marker). Then do:

gcc -o tai64nfrac tai64nfrac.c

Hi Jonas,
Thats great.
I got tai64nfrac.c to compile.
The next problem i face isto parse the output from tai64nfrac into matchup.

Ive typed:
#/usr/local/qmailanalog/bin/matchup < test

but i get the error:
matchup: fatal: unable to write fd 5: file descriptor not open

Can somebody tell me what im doing wrong.

Regards,
Vinay

Sure: you're not reading the instructions. If the instructions included with
qmailanalong aren't clear enough, there are many examples of proper usage in
the qmail list archives; please read them.

"man matchup"? Assuming the man files for qmailanalog are in that path.
You read the documentation that comes w/ qmailanalog, right?

Hi Charles,
So i assume you know what I am doing wrong.
I thought the point of the mailing list was to help fellow qmail users not
criticise them.

Thanx again for your reply.

I have some evidence that you're doing at least _one_ thing wrong. You may be
doing many more; we don't know.

Ah, there's your second mistake -- it's neither of the above. According to
the list owner, the purpose of the list is to discuss "The qmail package, the
qmailanalog package, the dot-forward package, and the fastforward package."

Before you post to this list, you are expected to have read the instructions
and attempted to understand them, and to have looked for solutions in the list
archives. If you don't do /at least/ these things, you're wasting the time of
hundreds of qmail administrators -- and we get a little bit hostile when you
do that.

Perhaps he *did* know and saw this:

and decided that you're just on your own, since your email was not addressed
directly to him.

No, you wanted the qmail-warm-fuzzies-for-people-who-dont-read-documentation
list, down the hall on the left. Seriously, your question is answered in the
docs and has been discussed on this list numerous times. You *did* check the
archives before posting, didn't you? Or did you mistake this list for a
bunch of people who enjoy re-typing the documentation into emails? (We
don't.)

Danger. My server has broked... :(

I've spent the day recovering from a HD failure, so have had to setup my
qmail system again. Not too onerous, being that I've got everything
backed up, and on a local disk, but still a pain.

Everything is logging to /var/log/qmail/*, so I can still build my stats!

I like qmail but I hate installing it!

Hi Robert,

you may have a look at my 'newanalyse' package.

It is highly customizable, requires qmailanaloge, perl and the Korn-shell.
