Hi,
 
I have installed postfix mail server in my CentOS box. ( centos 5.3 final i386 )
Also I have installed policyd for security.
 
I cant open /var/log/maillog file every time and check for bounce rejected mails.

I want to know about its mail log analyzer. Is there any gui tool available which can show the bounce and rejected mail log with email id ?

You can also configure Syslog with MySQL

Hope it helps you

You can also try webmin which gives quite detailed logs for mail too..

Thanks,

Thanks to all of  you for replying !

SAWMILL is not free I think, And awstate is not showing rejected emails or failure delivery logs in details.

But finaly ,

I  found pflogsumm  that is perl script of postfix. It can generate the whole report including failure delivery and rejected emails. 


Again Thank you very much for help.

This article describes how you can monitor your Postfix mailserver with the tools Mailgraph and pflogsumm. Mailgraph creates daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly graphs of sent, received, bounced, and rejected emails and also of spam and viruses, if SpamAssassin and ClamAV are integrated into Postfix. These graphs can be accessed with a browser, whereas pflogsumm ("Postfix Log Entry Summarizer") can be used to send reports of Postfix activity per email.

In the following I will describe how to install and configure Mailgraph and pflogsumm on Debian Sarge, Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06 LTS), and Fedora Core 5.

this is a good howto on posifxi pflogsumm and MailGraph.
