NAME

       isoqlog - multi-MTA log file analyzer

SYNOPSIS

       isoqlog [-f alternate.conf]

DESCRIPTION

       Isoqlog	is  an MTA log analysis program written in C. It's designed to read qmail, postfix, sendmail, exim logfiles and produce usage sta-
       tistics in HTML format, for viewing through a web browser. It produces Top domains output according to Incoming, Outgoing, total mails  and
       bytes, and shows your main domain mail statistics with Days Top Domain, Top Users per day, per month, and year.

OPTIONS

       -f alternate.conf
	      Use  an  alternate  configuration  file. Default If no options are specified on the command-line then the default configuration file
	      /etc/isoqlog/isoqlog.conf will be used.

       -v     output version information and exit

MAILWRAPPER(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    MAILWRAPPER(8)

NAME

     mailwrapper -- invoke appropriate MTA software based on configuration file

SYNOPSIS

     Special. See below.

DESCRIPTION

     Once upon time, the only Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) software easily available was ``sendmail''.  This famous MTA was written by Eric Allman
     and first appeared in 4.1BSD.  The legacy of this MTA affected most Mail User Agents (MUAs) such as mail(1); the path and calling conventions
     expected by ``sendmail'' were compiled in.

     But times changed.  On a modern NetBSD system, the administrator may wish to use one of several available MTAs.

     It would be difficult to modify all MUA software typically available on a system, so most of the authors of alternative MTAs have written
     their front end message submission programs that may appear in the place of /usr/sbin/sendmail, but still follow the same calling conventions
     as ``sendmail''.

     The ``sendmail'' MTA also typically has aliases named mailq(1) and newaliases(1) linked to it.  The program knows to behave differently when
     its argv[0] is ``mailq'' or ``newaliases'' and behaves appropriately.  Typically, replacement MTAs provide similar functionality, either
     through a program that also switches behavior based on calling name, or through a set of programs that provide similar functionality.

     Although having replacement programs that plug replace ``sendmail'' helps in installing alternative MTAs, it essentially makes the configura-
     tion of the system depend on hand installing new programs in /usr.  This leads to configuration problems for many administrators, since they
     may wish to install a new MTA without altering the system provided /usr.  (This may be, for example, to avoid having upgrade problems when a
     new version of the system is installed over the old.)  They may also have a shared /usr among several machines, and may wish to avoid placing
     implicit configuration information in a read-only /usr.

     The mailwrapper program is designed to replace /usr/sbin/sendmail and to invoke an appropriate MTA based on configuration information placed
     in /etc/mailer.conf.  This permits the administrator to configure which MTA is to be invoked on the system at run time.

EXIT STATUS

     mailwrapper exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

FILES

     Configuration for mailwrapper is kept in /etc/mailer.conf.  /usr/sbin/sendmail is typically set up as a symlink to mailwrapper which is not
     usually invoked on its own.

DIAGNOSTICS

     mailwrapper will print a diagnostic if its configuration file is missing or malformed, or does not contain a mapping for the name under which
     it was invoked.

SEE ALSO

     mail(1), mailq(1), newaliases(1), postfix(1), mailer.conf(5)

HISTORY

     The mailwrapper program appeared in NetBSD 1.4.

BUGS

     The entire reason this program exists is a crock.	Instead, a command for how to submit mail should be standardized, and all the ``behave
     differently if invoked with a different name'' behavior of things like mailq(1) should go away.
