Hi Abigail,

Yep, exactly right. VPS1 logs contain both user logins and server 
activity. The <XX> needs to be removed. I made a sed commands file
"sedcmds":
s/<XX>//
s/sendmail/ServerName sendmail/

Put any name your want on the report in place of "ServerName"

Then in my daily crontab file afetr a cd to whereever you put sma and 
these files:

sed -f sedcmds $HOME/var/log/dailyMessages >maillog
./sma maillog

Check the sma.conf and change whatever you like. That should do it!

I really like the way you can see who's using the bandwidth for too many 
mailing lists!
