NAME

     sma - Sendmail Log Analyser

SYNOPSIS

     sma [OPTIONS] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The sma utility analyses sendmail log entries and produces a summary of
     mail activity.  sma reads the input from file or from standard input and
     writes the report to standard output or file.

     sma can be configured using command line options or configuration file,
     or both.  Command line options always override the configuration file.

     The available command line options are as follows:

     -A      Downcase all addresses.  This is so that foo@bar.com is
             equivilant to FOO@BAR.Com and Foo@Bar.com and they all get
             counted the same in the counts.  Usually one is interested in the
             user, not the format of the address and since email addresses are
             case insensitive to MTAs, one may want to make them case
             insensitive in sma

     -a      Format the report as ASCII.

     -b color
             Set the background color of the HTML report as color.

     -C string
             Set report header as string.

     -D date1,date2
             Process log entry only if the date is between date1 and date2.
             The format of the date is as follows:
             [[[[[[cc]yy]mm]dd]HH]MM[.SS]] where

                   yy      Year in abbreviated form (for years 1969-2068).
                           The format ccyymmddHHMM is also permitted, for non-
                           ambiguous years.
                   mm      Numeric month, a number from 1 to 12.
                   dd      Day, a number from 1 to 31.
                   HH      Hour, a number from 0 to 23.
                   MM      Minute, a number from 0 to 59.
                   SS      Second, a number from 0 to 61 (59 plus a maximum of
                           two leap seconds).

             Everything but the minute is optional. The dates must be
             separated using a colon, without any whitespace characters. If
             either of the dates is missing, current date is used.

     -c      Print the copyright notice and exit.

     -d      Process only the domain portion of email address.

     -f file
             Read the configuration from file instead of the default
             configuration file. The default configuration file is defined in
             conf.h.

     -F      Do not use default configuration file even if it exists.

     -H name
             Use name as hostname.

     -L string
             Process only lines with syslog tag string

     -h      Print help message and exit.

     -i      Include the ASCII report as HTML comment (requires -w or -O
             html).

     -n      Do not report the time distribution.

     -o file
             Print the report as file. If not given, print to stdout.

             is 10.

     -r num  Number of the top relay senders and recipients in the report.

BUGS

     sma takes the year from runtime year.  It knows nothing about the new
     year transitions in log files.

     The documentation contains a lot of bad english.
