====qplogtail====
 +
qplogtail is a script intended to help monitor /var/log/qpsmtpd/current and extract a concise but meaningful display of what the server is doing the the current moment.
    +
qplogtail extracts 5 kinds of information:<ol>
 +
<li> Normal connections:<br>
 +
''28545 Accepted connection 4/30 from 86.139.2.73 ...''
 +
</li><li> Errors in violation of ''Instances'':<br>
 +
''5146 Too many connections: 40 >= 40.  Waiting one second.''
 +
</li><li> Errors in violation of ''InstancesPerIP'':<br>
 +
''5320 hosts_allow plugin: Too many connections from 212.100.229.201: 6 > 5Denying connection.''
 +
</li><li> Messages blocked by any qpsmtpd plugin:<br>
 +
''<nowiki>15751 logging::logterse plugin: ` 82.210.181.241      241-pra-6.acn.waw.pl  241-pra-6.acn.waw.pl    <Glasteinzhza@ask-it-here.com>          dnsbl  903    http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=82.210.181.241    msg denied before queued</nowiki>''
 +
</li><li> Messages queued for delivery:<br>
 +
''<nowiki>15587 logging::logterse plugin: ` 128.220.32.40      miami.deuvis.com    miami.deuvis.com      <aapple@deuvis.com>  <c.wolf@ncxr.org>      queued        <200709270344.l8R3iq0b010299@deuvis.com>      No, hits=-2.6 required=5.0_</nowiki>''
 +
</li></ol>
