Hello,
[Old problem; if it was fixed, I cannot see it (checked Changelog, wiki, source, as much as my grepping counts). Any help appreciated.]
I have been begging since 2003 to be able to trash qpopper and use dovecot, but statistical logging of dovecot has been pretty much absent. Qpopper does this:
Aug 19 11:18:02 mail in.qpopper[8099]: Stats: userid 0 0 12 51773
user.example.com 193.291.612.5 [pop_updt.c:296]
Which provides us with user id, user host and ip, which is fine with dovecot.
Provides furthermore unread mail count and bytes, and read but undeleted mail count and bytes. This is essential to handle low-IQ user problems basically coming down to "WE CANNOT USE EMAIL FIX IT".
This topic was touched several times: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:dovecot.org+logging&hl=en&lr=&start=0&sa=N
including my original question at http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2003-October/002514.html
someone even dropped in a patch http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2003-June/001618.html which seem to have disappeared in the flow of time.
Probably is a member of the TODO list since then, but I cannot find the exact spot.
Some comments from Timo was dropped at

(and reply http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2003-September/002281.html
)

So, is there any possibility to log the entry and exit statistics of a session, regarding the amount of mail?
Thanks, Peter
