LogCheck for Sendmail / Linux?
While I'm trying to sort out my server problems, I'm also battling with spammers trying to use my server for a relay. Unfortunately for them, it's closed so they're just spamming away at a brick wall.
This is, however, generating REAMS of log entries.
I need to start blocking the spammer's IP address (refuse connection), but am having real difficulty with sorting the Log. Every entry is recorded in chronological order, but in fact many processes run for days attempting delivery to bounced non-existent addresses.
I've tried sorting the file in Excel by JOB number, and that at least has grouped processes together. But now it's difficult to find the connection which triggered the process in the first place.
What I really need is a good log analyzer which can track and thread processes. I hear there's something called "Logcheck" for Linux, which e-mails log reports to the admin account each day.
Does anyone know where I can get this, or if there are better / smarter log analysers out there?
Cheers
