Hello everybody!

I run crashmail as a point to just generate stats for a couple of nets. Is there anything I can use for fmail instead so I get rid of the crashmail setup

There must have been some from the previous century, I remember seeing 1 or 2 in online fidonet archives. But I don't remember the specifics anymore.

A quick search on my system resulted in fmtsum, a Win32 program that lists last scanned and tossed dates for each echomail area. C source included:

https://www.vlzn.nl/fmail/files/div/FMTSum-1.2.zip

And in the latest beta of FMail the json_toss.log function was added, which was specifically designed to produce a machine readable log. And I made a python script that analyses that log and print some stats. But that was just a crude technology demonstrator, as a starting point for more fancy functionality.

Bye, Wilfred.
