Hello, it's my first post in this mailing list. I'm looking fot a tool (a simple script, or something like it) to analyse the mailman log in order to know the volume of the work managed by mailman for each list configured in it (how many post per day, how many new subscrive, etc...). Is there something that could help me?
Thanks a lot for you kind answer and help.
Best Regards, Roger

Have a look at the MMDSR script at Sourceforge in the files section, IIRC. It sounds like this is a perfect fit for what you need.
I'd give you the URL, but I can't get to Sourceforge at teh moment.

It's Mailman patch 1123383 at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1123383&group_id=103&atid=300103>.
It's also referenced in the FAQ at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.030.htp>.
And, since 2.1.7 it is in the contrib directory in the distribution, although the one on Sourceforge is more up to date than the 2.1.7 distribution.

Hello, thanks a lot for you answer. I downloaded the script and, after a few modification for customisation reason, it runs very well. But now I have a problem: I found out that my mailman post log is stop to the begin of february and I don't know why. The other log files (smtp, smtp-failure, ubscribe, vette, ......) are correctly updated to today. What could be happen? For sure I wrong somethig, but I can not understand what! :-(
Thanks a lot in advance for you kind answer. Roger

Are you rotating your Mailman logs with newsyslog or some other log rotator? If so, you have to be sure that you issue a HUP to the master-qrunner process.. for Newsyslog I do something like this (it's a single line entry in newsyslog.conf):
/usr/local/mailman/logs/mischief mailman:mailman 664 7 * @T000005 J /usr/local/mailman/data/master-qrunner.pid
Hope this helps!
Best, --Glenn

And for logrotate, you need something like
postrotate
/var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl reopen >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscriptin the block for the Mailman logs.

Go to the Mailman FAQ Wizard at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py> and search for "log analysis".
There's lots of good stuff in the FAQ Wizard. I recommend you go to the index of all entries at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=index> and read through as many as you can, and continue doing so until you've at least glanced at every entry in the FAQ. Most of the information probably won't stick, but you should at least get a good feel for what kind of information is there.
There's also lots of good stuff in the archives of the mailing list. FAQ entry 1.18 should provide you enough information so that you can search the archives.
