assplog(8)                           ASSP                           assplog(8)

NAME
       assplog - ASSP log pretty-printer

SYNOPSIS
       assplog

DESCRIPTION
       assplog uses tail -f to monitor the ASSP Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy log and
       then displays logged messages using ANSI color sequences and
       reformatted to a consistent layout for easy reading.

       assplog works best on terminal windows of around 120 columns or wider.
       It also assumes a black background as whitelisted messages are
       displayed colored white.  If you normally use a white background, use
       Ctrl-MiddleButton and select Enable Reverse Video.

       The colors have the following meaning:

       1. Messages that were delivered

              White  Sender was on whitelist (or was added to whitelist)

              Green  Message passed all checks and was delivered

       2. Messages that were blocked

              Cyan   Message was delayed (sending MTA should retry later)

              Blue   Recipient unknown (failed flat list or LDAP check)

              Magenta
                     Message failed any of the other checks

              Red    Message failed Bayesian spam check

       3. Administrative messages

              Yellow Admin change from web interface

              Grey   Messages about ASSP's operation, including messages to
                     assp{notspam,spam,white}@ address

BUGS
       Note that assplog suppresses some of the message lines from the in
       actual log (those that report penalty scoring and some socket level
       information, for example).  Unknown/new log messages are not colorized.
       FOR A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE VIEW OF THE LOG, USE tail -f DIRECTLY ON
       THE LOG FILE.
