DBMAIL2DLF.IN(1)

📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

💖 dbmail2dlf 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the DBMAIL2DLF.IN(1) manual page — manual name folded right in here so we don’t have to copy that crusty header line. This is the dbmail2dlf glow-up guide. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

  • dbmail2dlf — convert DBMAIL IMAP or POP log files to Lire msgstore DLF format.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dbmail2dlf

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this program converts DBMAIL ( http://www.dbmail.org/ ) syslog files generated by the IMAP or POP services to the msgstore DLF. ✨

DBMAIL is a group of programs that enable the possibility of storing and retrieving mail messages from a (mysql) database. no cap, that’s the whole vibe. 🫶

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

ngl, the DBMAIL IMAP logging is hopeless and not supported yet. it’s giving “we don’t do that here” 😭.

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

to process a log as produced by DBMAIL:

$ dbmail2dlf < mail-log

dbmail2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report:

$ lr_log2report dbmail < /var/log/mail-log
