-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I got mail from a remailer operator asking how he could keep some information about how much his remailer was being used without keeping logs of the messages. This seemed like a good feature so I have added it to my maildelivery file. This is how it looks now: # # field pattern action/ string # result (quote included spaces) # Request-Remailing-To "" pipe R "date >> LOG.REMAIL" Request-Remailing-To "" pipe A remail.pl Anon-To "" pipe R "date >> LOG.REMAIL" Anon-To "" pipe A remail.pl Encrypted PGP pipe R "date >> LOG.ENCRYPTED" Encrypted PGP pipe A pgpmail.pl * "" pipe ? recurse.pl The lines which say "date >> LOG.XXX" will append one line to the LOG.* file each time a remailing or decryption is done. That line will tell when it is done. No other information is kept to allow reconstruction of who sent the message or what it was. You can use "wc" to count how many lines are in the files, archive and/or delete them periodically, or do whatever you like. A couple of notes: When you have more than one line that matches a particular field/pattern (defined in the first two columns), use the letter R for the result code for the first ones, and A for the last. Also, be SURE you put quotes around the command string if it is more than one word. Otherwise ALL of your mail will DISAPPEAR! (I need to do a little work on the slocal.pl script to make it more robust about this. :-) If you're using slocal rather than slocal.pl this should still work.
