Milter-greylist

hello,
Emmanuel Dreyfus suggested I post my question here so here it is :)

I'm looking for a tool that could tell me how much mails have been blocked
by milter-greylist. I'm thinking about something that would look at sendmail's
log which tuples were blocked by milter-greylist and were not presented
again after the delay, but maybe there's other ways of doing it.
Does anyone already have something like that ?

thanks

looks nicer than mine (which is just text):
http://www.sofaraway.org/tmp/milter-greylist/gl-stats-0.02.pl

to just get the number of mails blocked by milter-greylist, that would be
easier if milter-greylist was logging the number of grey expired, like
it already does for autowhite expired.

BTW, my script may not be accurate for some as I've only extracted stats
from the rules I'm using. Easy to fix by anyone in no time, I guess.

Personally I'm glad it doesn't do that, because it would
bloat my log files considerably ...  they're huge anyway.
:-)

BTW, I wrote a small Python program myself to analyze the
mail logs (formerly it was an awk script, but I rewrote
it in Python so it runs faster).  But it's a quick hack
without docs (I just wrote it for myself), so I haven't
published it so far.

Best regards

Why ? IIRC from 2.*, the expiration for autowhite and grey happens at the same
time. It's just a matter of counting both and logging them in the same syslog.
