Sendmail, Postfix, etc) is and what the best log analysis tool for that SMTP program is.=20 =20 We are currently using Symantec Mail Security for our outgoing SMTP Gateway but want to employ an open-source solution instead. My problem is our main requirement is to have a way to view the logs on a web based interface that will allow our system administrators when a customer complains they didn't receive an email to be able to go into the logs and search by date/time and view the activity for that period to determine if the mail went through our system or if it was blocked and if so why.=20 =20 I've heard of and read about a few different programs like SMA and Anteater and pflogstats, but I don't know if these will have the functionality I need to allow admins to search logs for a specific date/time and/or specific phrase/address on a web based interface. =20 I appreciate any help, advice in making this decision. =20 Josh=20 =20
