Indeed, the concept here applies to most any server setup (not just UW-IMAP). All SquirrelMail access should trigger log entries in the system maillog, given that your IMAP server's logging verbosity is sufficient for such. A regularly-run script could parse your system maillog file and determine usage of your mail server no matter how your users are accessing it (again, as long as all forms of access trigger log events). -paul ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
