[Mimedefang] Tally script update

[Cormack, Ken]

That might be ok for myself, but I'm not the only audience for the report.
It has to be "user friendly" in it's verbage.

I run logwatch on my Linux boxes, and the reports I see out of it (at least
in their default Redhat-supplied configuration), would not be adequately
"dumbed down".

It was quick enough to toss this thing together as a shell script.  It has
evolved over time, having more and more "stuff" added to it, so it's an ugly
hack from the get-go.  But it works, and the numbers generated by it have
justified the budget I needed for extra RAM, a second CPU, a commercial
virus scanner license, and a second (spillover) host.  That to me says "it
works".  ;)

Good suggestion, though.  Thanks for the idea.  :)

Ken

Have you considered a logwatch filter, instead? logwatch is written in Perl 
and scans the system logs, typically nightly, building a summary email for 
the admin.
