Re: getting awstats to read post.office log files

[eyang@xxxxxxxxx (Eric Yang)]

Hi Ken,

If you have Post.Office, the mail log will be converted to the proper format in /Library/Tenon/WebLog/cache/mail.log from a cron job automatically.  You should not point it to /var/spool/post.office/log/post.office.log.  The original configuration would have worked fine and the logs are generated every 15/45 minutes of the hour.

regards,

Eric
