Sendmail & Postfix

To protect their core messaging infrastructure, many companies deploy an extra line of defense in the form of e-mail servers situated between their internal mail servers and the Internet. These perimeter servers, most often Sendmail or Postfix, have become the first point of contact with e-mail arriving from the Internet and are a critical part of managing corporate communications.

The MessageStats Report Pack for Sendmail & Postfix offers dozens of reports to help administrators further understand how Sendmail and Postfix perimeter servers are functioning in their messaging environment. Gather information and report on Sendmail and Postfix servers, incoming and outgoing message counts and identify which Internet domains are sending and receiving information to/from your network.

The Sendmail & Postfix reports cover three core areas:

• Servers reports provide information about email usage in your Sendmail and Postfix servers, providing an indication of which users within the organization are sending and receiving the most emails, the average amount of time each Sendmail and Postfix server takes to relay messages, server uptime and configuration statistics.

• Message reports provide statistics indicating the number and size of messages received and transmitted by each Sendmail and Postfix server, including message sizes, recipients per message and statistics on the Sendmail rule sets that are used for rejecting messages.

• Internet reports document the communication with Internet domains as observed in log files, and provide information regarding top internet domains, top Internal and external senders and receivers, and external hosts.
