MailGraph HOWTO

exim is unknown type, I am wondering how the OP got it working if exim isnt a syslog type.
 
As I've written before, exim does it's own logging; it doesn't use syslog.

If MailGraph doesn't have a custom option you won't be able to use it unless you can change the exim logging to look exactly like a type it does support.

I've carefully documented the exim.conf section that handles logging.

Jeff I understand but if we cant use it what is the OP on about saying he hast it working.
 
I don't know who "the OP" is so I can't tell you.

Is "the OP" a username? I did a username search and didn't find anything.

Jeff
 
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Have you followed his specifications exactly; maybe he's resolved the problem.

I don't know; you'd have to ask him.

The exim logging hasn't been changed in well over a year.

Jeff
 
It could be the errors can be ignored and I have another problem as to why I get no images, yes I followed the instructions the same.

I have given up on it for now due to lack of time but will work on it more later.
 
when trying to install rrdtool for mailgraph I get an error that cgilib is not installed. I down loaded the file and tried to install it and get the following error.

Code: 
[....... cgilib-0.5]# make install
cc -I. -Wall -O2 -g   -c -o cgitest.o cgitest.c
cgitest.c: In function `main':
cgitest.c:108: warning: implicit declaration of function `strcmp'
cgitest.c:116: error: syntax error before "Library"
cgitest.c:129: warning: implicit declaration of function `strlen'
make: *** [cgitest.o] Error 1

What do I need to do to correct this. I am running FC3.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'd like to get this working, however I guess we need the mailgraph-exim that was originally posted, does anyone have it?

I've got it compiled and working... though I don't have any images. :(

See: http://www.bottrell.com.au/cgi-bin/mailgraph.cgi

Any help...
This is the code in the cgi script that generates the images? Does it match what you all have.
Code: 
print "<P><IMG BORDER=\"0\" SRC=\"$scriptname/mailgraph_${n}.png\" ALT=\"mailgraph\">\n";
                print "<P><IMG BORDER=\"0\" SRC=\"$scriptname/mailgraph_${n}_err.png\" ALT=\"mailgraph\">\n";

That just doesn't look right... :confused:
 
Good day!

I've managed MAILGRAPH to work on my server (OS FreeBSD 5.4.). Everything is fine, but I still can't get spam counted.

In my /etc/exim.conf I've changed deny massages, so there're such messages

2005-11-24 00:12:41 H=69-171-206-52.sbtnvt.adelphia.net [69.171.206.52] F=<[email protected]> rejected RCPT <webmaster@****>: SPAM Sorry but you're blacklisted at cbl.abuseat.org! to unblock 69-171-206-52.sbtnvt.adelphia.net see http://*****/

Analysing mailgraph.pl, I've noticed, that the script is looking for string beggining with rejected after DATA:

There's an obvious difference between

F=<mebel@****.com> rejected RCPT <dk@****.ru>: Rejected SPAM!

and

F=<maria@******.org> rejected after DATA: MALWARE

What shall I do? To get spam counted with MAILGRPAH. Should I change mailgraph.pl to make it look for rejected RCPT strings or anything else?
 
when editing mailgraph.cgi, do you remove the line use RRDs;? The reason I ask is if I do not remove it when adding
Code: 
use lib qw( /usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl ../lib/perl );
I get the following error.
Code: 
[root@server mailgraph]# ./mailgraph.cgi
Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl ../lib/perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-mult.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./mailgraph.cgi line 7.
With out "use RRDs;" I get what would be html output when running "mailgraph.cgi"

Thanks for the help.

In my case, I do not remove any lines of the code.

Just check, you've got RRDTool properly installed on your machine.

If you're running FreeBSD. Use your packages:

#cd /usr/ports/net/rrdtool/
#make install

And everything gonna be fine! :)
 
When I run the mailgraph.cgi for any of my domains, I get an internal server error from the browser. When I check the logs i see this error.
Code: 
[2005-12-12 16:31:50]: info: (target/actual) uid: (admin/admin) gid: (admin/admin) cmd: mailgraph.cgi
Code: 
[2005-12-12 16:31:50]: error: target uid/gid (501/502) mismatch with directory (501/502) or program (0/0)
What should I check to try and fix this?

Edit: It was a permissions / user problem. Modified the user and page started working. Now to actually get images on the page. :)

I have done up until this part:
* Edit mailgraph.cgi and mailgraph.pl
* Add this after the comments: use lib qw( /usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl ../lib/perl );
* Fire it up from shell:

- ./mailgraph.cgi
Click to expand...
However I keep receiving this error whenever I run mailgraph.cgi:
Can't locate object method "bootstrap" via package "RRDs" at /usr/local/rrdtool/lib/perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/RRDs.pm line 12.
Compilation failed in require at ./mailgraph.cgi line 8.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./mailgraph.cgi line 8.

EDIT: I fixed the DynaLoader.pm issue, but now I'm stuck with this problem. Any ideas?

I installed the debian libart-2.0 package and their freetype2 package which didn't make a difference; got the same errors. After removing those I grabbed the ones suggested in the error msg, ./configure, make, make install them and still get the same errors.

Anyone have any ideas as to the fix? I downloaded Debian's rrdtool package and couldn't find the correct structure that is mentioned in one of the first steps in configuring mailgraph.cgi & .pl.
 
i get this error so far


-bash: ./configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

none of you recent posters had the above problem? unknown log type.
 
Exim doesn't use syslogd; it creates it's own logs. I arbitrarily decided on the logging when I wrote the exim.conf file.

If I recall, I've posted to a thread previously explaining how to change the exim logging.
