This should be a common situation, so I hope someone has what I need:
Our phone bills have been skyrocketing lately. We'd like a way to get
summaries of how much of that is email, and how much of that is going
each way. I have a script that came with an early release of perl
that does a crude summary of /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog, but it's still
hard to figure out how much of the mail is leaving the system. (We
have over 5000 entries in the password file, so there's a fair amount
of email within the system.) (Oh, and we're on a Sequent B8 with
Dynix, which looks a lot like 4.2 BSD with some enhancements.
sendmail and smail and pathalias are what we use, I think.)
And if we can save enough on our phone bill, we can go on the Internet
and never have to worry about anything again ... 8-) (except disk
space.)
Email or post! I read all three newsgroups. Thanks!
later, david dhawk@well.sf.ca.us
