POSTFIX2DLF_MAIN.IN(1)

📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

💖 NAME 💖

hey bestie!! welcome to POSTFIX2DLF_MAIN.IN(1), aka the postfix2dlf_main page from LogReport's Lire Documentation ✨. this little icon is here to convert postfix2dlf_pre output to email dlf — periodt 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

postfix2dlf_main dumpfile

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so postfix2dlf_main expects a preprocessed postfix logfile, as written by postfix2dlf_pre(1), on STDIN. It prints a Lire email DLF file on stdout, using a Berkeley DB in dumpfile that holds a mapping from hostname-queueid to number-of-lines-with-this-id. no cap, that mapping is highkey the whole vibe 😌.

🧚 DEVELOPERS 🧚

The datastructures are the same as the ones in sendmail2dlf.

%msg stores all currently being processed information from the log. In sendmail2dlf, this hash is indexed by dlfid's:

$dlfid = $log->{'hostname'} . $log->{'queueid'}

In postfix2dlf we use just the queueid, for now. (iykyk 👀)

Scalar values:

$msg{$dlfid} = {
  logrelay        => ...,
  queueid         => ...,
  time            => ...,
  nrcpts          => ...,
  from_user       => ...,
  from_domain     => ...,
  from_relay_host => ...,
  from_relay_ip   => ...,
  size            => ...,
  msgid           => ...,
};

Furthermore:

$del = $msg{$dlfid}->{deliveries}{$to};

$to is an email address as returned by &Lire::Email::sanitize_tos.

$del->{to_user}   = ....;
$del->{to_domain} = ....;

Other $del keys with scalar values:

to_relay_host
to_relay_ip
delay
xdelay
stat
xstat

The hash reference $msg{$dlfid} is often assigned to $cur.

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

ngl, postfix2dlf_main will be rarely used on its own: it is called by postfix2dlf(1). Refer to the postfix2dlf manpage for examples and usage information 🫶.
