Imap accounting in dovecot
Hi, I am using dovecot, and I wanted to fix the imap traffic not being counted. Since dovecot 1.2 when you logout, the system register the in/out bytes of the session.
Can someone with similar setup try this script, it should output something like:
user=user@domain traffic


cat /var/log/ispcp/mail.log.prev |/bin/grep 'IMAP'|/bin/grep 'Logged out bytes'|awk '/IMAP/ {split($10,resul,"="); split(resul[2],oper,"/");print "user="substr($6,6,length($6)-7) , oper[1]+oper[2]}'


Can you verify it doesn't output extraneous data for you?

This would be very fine. It is still a problem.
Looks good!
Code:

user=katta@a-nice-domain.tld 516

RE: Imap accounting in dovecot
It seems to me that imap accounting is screwed on courier too:
Using this line as the log:
Code:
Aug 22 17:25:13 ascension imapd: TIMEOUT, user=gordon, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=4770, sent=776926, time=3650
And parsing like ispcp:
Code:
/bin/cat /tmp/dom |/bin/grep 'imap'|/bin/grep 'user='|/bin/grep 'body='|/bin/grep -v 'ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]'|/usr/bin/awk '{print $7,$9,substr($10,1,length($10)-1);}'

It gives:
Code:
user=gordon, headers=0, body=0
Instead of 781696 wich would seem more reasonable (rvcd + sent bytes)

Does anyone have an explanation on what is the expected output?
