IMGate MRTG - Postfix MRTG Files

Postfix MRTG Files

We do not need to setup anything else on the basic MRTG. We will tell it to use the postfix configuration file: postfix.cfg.

Now we will be working with the following 3 files:

Save all the files above in the " /usr/local/bin " directory.

Make sure you mark them executable.

chmod 755 update-mailstats.pl
chmod 755 mailstats.pl
chmod 755 mrtg-mailstats

Now here is a problem I ran into. It kept telling me I need a Perl script called "Tail." So poking around I found one. Download the file below:

File-Tail-0.95.tar.gz

Extract the file

tar -xvzf File-Tail-0.95.tar.gz

Change to the new directory

cd File-Tail-0.95

Type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

Now you need to copy the postfix.cfg file to your " /usr/sbin/ " directory

cp postfix.cfg /usr/sbin/

You may want to customize this file a little bit. Here you can name your machine and domain name. I have domain.com in there for an example.

Now create a directory for your MRTG html files.

cd /usr/local/www/data
mkdir stats
mkdir stats/postfix
