you can really see from these numbers when the bitftp server was shut off. the length of the log files, in bytes, for each month of ftpmail's operation: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 147850 Apr 7 01:01 .log.90-12 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 457698 Apr 7 01:01 .log.91-01 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 542694 Apr 7 01:01 .log.91-02 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 959640 Apr 7 01:01 .log.91-03 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 984924 May 25 19:23 .log.91-04 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 2137269 Jun 4 01:41 .log.91-05 summary of those log files is as follows: Log File From To ftps parts kbytes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .log.90-12 12/05/90 08:17:16 12/31/90 19:00:53 740 2012 100758 .log.91-01 01/01/91 03:30:45 01/31/91 23:30:40 2214 7080 365393 .log.91-02 02/01/91 00:00:16 02/28/91 23:52:02 2510 7734 399244 .log.91-03 03/01/91 00:14:29 03/31/91 21:32:31 4414 13148 681933 .log.91-04 04/01/91 05:30:25 04/30/91 23:45:54 4842 10236 494517 .log.91-05 05/01/91 00:35:08 05/31/91 23:38:33 10356 20293 933187 that is not a typographical error. it explains the multiday delays in may; ftpmail has a limit of how much network traffic it will generate per unit time, and the requests have been coming in at (well) over that rate. cheers, -- Paul Vixie DEC Western Research Lab <vixie@pa.dec.com> <paul@vixie.sf.ca.us> Palo Alto, California, USA ...!decwrl!vixie ...!vixie!paul
