Mail.Log-Parser Home

MLP (Mail.Log-Parsing) is a script and soon-to-be script collection to make it easier to extract useful information from /var/log/mail.log as produced by postfix setups like our Mailhaus.at.

Tracing emails with only grep is difficult because the major properties of a single mail, like sender, recipient, and message-id, usually are distributed over multiple lines.

mlp-findmails makes this task a one-liner. It is based on http://www.perlmonks.org/bare/?node_id=444335 but I enhanced and extended it quite a lot. mlp-findmails --help tells Xou more

Download

mlp is of course available via our debian repository deb.clazzes.org, but for now the scripts are self contained and you may download mlp-* directly via public svn access.
