💅 nmsstore2dlf — Netscape Messaging Server logs to the Lire msgstore DLF ✨

okay so this is the NMSSTORE2DLF.IN(1) page from LogReport's Lire Documentation, and we are folding that manual-name energy right up here at the top. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

nmsstore2dlf — convert Netscape Messaging Server IMAP or POP log files to the Lire msgstore DLF. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

nmsstore2dlf

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This program converts Netscape Messaging Server log files generated by the IMAP or POP services to the Lire msgstore DLF. literally that's the whole assignment, bestie. 🎀

🔥 LIMITATIONS 🔥

In order to have this parser giving you useful information it is recommended to set the NMS 4 logs at the right level. In order to fix that problem please make sure you did the following. 👑

  1. Go on the Netscape Messaging Server 4 Message Store.
  2. Become the Mail Server user (usually this should not be root but typically a user like mailsrv or whatever was defined at installation time, check for the ownership of the files in your message server instance for example).
  3. Go to the right location, something like:
server-root/msg-instance

For example it could be:

/usr/netscape/server4/msg-mymailserver
  1. Do:
$ ./configutil -o logfile.pop.loglevel -v Informational
OK SET
$ ./configutil -o logfile.imap.loglevel -v Informational
OK SET
  1. Then become root, go again to your instance directory like:
/usr/netscape/server4/msg-mymailserver

and do:

# ./stop-msg pop
/mailserv1fs/netscape/server4: Stopping POP3 daemon 24789 .... done: 24789

# ./start-msg pop
/mailserv1fs/netscape/server4: Starting POP3 daemon .... done: 17509

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

To process a log as produced by Netscape Messaging Server:

$ nmsstore2dlf < ns-store.log

nmsstore2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report:

$ lr_log2report nmsstore < /var/log/ns-store.log > report
