default sendmail config and munin sendmail plugins on unstable
Playing with munin on unstable. Trying to get the sendmail_mailstats
and sendmail_mailtraffic plugins to work.
These rely on the mailstats program.
mailstats returns the following:
MSP statistics...
mailstats: /var/lib/sendmail/sm-client.st: No such file or directory
MTA statistics...
mailstats: /var/lib/sendmail/sendmail.st: No such file or directory
Now - I took a look in (after a while grepping)
/usr/share/sendmail//cf/debian/sendmail.mc
where the line
./cf/debian/sendmail.mc:dnl undefine(`confHOST_STATUS_DIRECTORY')dnl #DAEMON_HOSTSTATS=
appears. The update_conf script will therefore not enable statistics.
There has to be a reason for this - is it just because "most people
don't use it" ? Or am I heading for trouble (performance or otherwise)
if I start playing with this?
Oh - and if anyone has the stats running and can post the
sendmail.mc/submit.mc lines for it that'd save me hunting out the
packing case with the bat book in it :-) Not seen that one in a while.
Regards
