SMA(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SMA(8)NAMEsma — Sendmail Log Analyser
SYNOPSISsma [OPTIONS] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The sma utility analyses sendmail log entries and produces a summary of
mail activity. sma reads the input from file or from standard input and
writes the report to standard output or file.
sma can be configured using command line options or configuration file,
or both. Command line options always override the configuration file.
The available command line options are as follows:
-A Downcase all addresses. This is so that foo@bar.com is equivi‐
lant to FOO@BAR.Com and Foo@Bar.com and they all get counted the
same in the counts. Usually one is interested in the user, not
the format of the address and since email addresses are case
insensitive to MTAs, one may want to make them case insensitive
in sma-a Format the report as ASCII.
-b color
Set the background color of the HTML report as color.
-C string
Set report header as string.
-D date1,date2
Process log entry only if the date is between date1 and date2.
