assplog(8)

NAME
assplog - ASSP log pretty-printer

SYNOPSIS
assplog

DESCRIPTION
assplog uses tail -f to monitor the ASSP Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy log and then displays logged messages using ANSI color sequences and reformatted to a consistent layout for easy reading.

assplog works best on terminal windows of around 120 columns or wider. It also assumes a black background as whitelisted messages are displayed colored white. If you normally use a white background, use Ctrl-MiddleButton and select Enable Reverse Video.

The colors have the following meaning:

1. Messages that were delivered

    White
        Sender was on whitelist (or was added to whitelist)

    Green
        Message passed all checks and was delivered

2. Messages that were blocked

    Cyan
        Message was delayed (sending MTA should retry later)

    Blue
        Recipient unknown (failed flat list or LDAP check)

    Magenta
        Message failed any of the other checks

    Red Message failed Bayesian spam check

3. Administrative messages

    Yellow
        Admin change from web interface

    Grey
        Messages about ASSP's operation, including messages to assp{notspam,spam,white}@ address

BUGS
Note that assplog suppresses some of the message lines from the in actual log (those that report penalty scoring and some socket level information, for example). Unknown/new log messages are not colorized. FOR A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE VIEW OF THE LOG, USE tail -f DIRECTLY ON THE LOG FILE.
