script help please

[ChrisJones]

this is what i want to do...
generate a greylist logfile for each domain , this is what the current manual command looks like.

Code:

cat /var/log/syslog | grep domain.co.uk |postgreyreport --nosingle_line --check_sender=mx,a --show_tries --separate_by_subnet=.:===========================================================​====================================\n. >/var/www/virtual/domain.co.uk/htdocs/postgrey.log

i think a command something like this could work

Code:

cat /var/log/syslog | grep $domain |postgreyreport --nosingle_line --check_sender=mx,a --show_tries --separate_by_subnet=.:===========================================================​====================================\n. >/var/www/virtual/$domain/htdocs/postgrey.log

the output really shouldnt be in a public folder unless protected. but im not very good at scripting tbh

at the moment i currenly have a command that lists all domains.
any help would be appreciated

short and untested:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

FOLDER="/var/mail/virtual/"

for domain in $(ls $FOLDER); do
  if test -d /var/www/virtual/$domain/htdocs; then
    echo "Report for Domain $domain"
    cat /var/log/syslog | grep $domain |postgreyreport --nosingle_line -check_sender=mx,a --show_tries > /var/www/virtual/$domain/htdocs/postgrey.log
  fi

done

Thanks knut

below is the final script which i called postgreylog , added a cron job to run before syslog has been cleared. Not all systems have mail logging in syslog so customise as required.

Changed where the file is saved a little , might be interesting to get something like this into the users control panel so they can check to see if real mail is being blocked (my wife had 5 email addresses today).

had to change it just a little but overall it does it's job. Thanks for helping

to run script past into your most used editor
and save , then chmod +x it.
run to test.

sample output here

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#postgreylog v1
#This script outputs the blocked mail into a readable logfile for each domain
#Idea Chris Jones 2009
#script written by Knut on isp-control.net forums 2009
#script re-edited by Chris Jones 2009

# Folder gathers the list of domains
FOLDER="/var/mail/virtual/"

#log should be the file you want read by postgrey report
log="/var/log/syslog"

#output edit the output so non-readable on net or post into a protected folder
output="/var/www/virtual/"

#Main script
#I require the .:====== part to make it readable by me it also looks better
for domain in $(ls $FOLDER); do
  if test -d /var/www/virtual/$domain/htdocs; then
    echo "Report for Domain $domain"
    cat $log | grep $domain |postgreyreport --nosingle_line --check_sender=mx,a --show_tries --separate_by_subnet=.:===================================From====================​===============TO=======================:.MailServer-Sending-Mail\ > $output$domain/postgrey.log
  fi

done

Thanks

Hi,

you can change the line

Code:

if test -d /var/www/virtual/$domain/htdocs; then

to

Code:

if test -d $output$domain/htdocs; then
