Actually, it's Jim *Seymour's* (and a host of others') pflogsumm.pl
:-). And it can be found at

    http://home.msen.com/~jimsun/postfix_contrib.html

 - for now. (LinxNet.com, and the "Jimsun" site with it, are on the
move. Or will be shortly.)

The "jimsun" came about when I was configuring my first personal Sun
box. Stuck for a name, I selected "jimsun" - for "Jim's Sun." When I
set up my account with my ISP I found myself again unprepared. (The
ISP allows only a max of 7-character names, so "jseymour" wouldn't
fit.) So...

More on-topic... as Brad notes elsewhere: logcheck has a much different
purpose in life than does pflogsumm. If what he wants is alerts in
"real time", logcheck would be the more appropriate tool. I've been
considering deploying it myself for some time. Been busy with other
things. Maybe later.

Regards,
Jim
