S1MS2DLF.IN(1)

📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

💅 s1ms2dlf — the SunONE Messaging Server SMTP log → email DLF glow-up 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to s1ms2dlf, from LogReport's Lire documentation (man page S1MS2DLF.IN(1), iykyk). she's a little converter with a big job and honestly? she ate. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

nms2dlf

yes bestie, that's literally it. no flags, no options, no drama. (and yes, that's nms2dlf up there in the synopsis even though the page is called s1ms2dlf — not me questioning it, just reporting the facts 💀)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe: this program converts a SunONE Messaging Server log file — one that was generated by the SMTP service — into the Lire email DLF. simple queen behavior.

the log file is expected on stdin, and the DLF file gets printed to stdout. classic pipeline energy, no cap ✨

but listen — for this to actually process the log file correctly, you need to turn on logging for the following channels:

FIXME

...yeah. that's what it says. FIXME. the docs left a little blank spot there and honestly, same. 🙈

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

real talk time, bestie, because this matters:

this DLF converter was developed for the SunONE Messaging Server version 5.2. other versions? may or may not work. it's giving "we tried our best." if you have problems with that converter, contact the LogReport developers — they wanna know 🫶

you can find info about the log format used by SunONE Messaging Server at this URL right here:

🎀 CONFIGURING LOGGING OF MAILBOX-DELIVER MODULE 🎀

so here's a thing we found: by default there are no logs from the Mailbox-Delivery module. none. zero. tragic. 😭

in order to fix that problem, please make sure you do the following:

  1. go on the SunONE Messaging Server MTA or Message Store
  2. become the Mail Server user (usually this should not be root — typically it's a user like mailsrv or whatever was defined at installation time; check 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: /opt/sunone/s1ms5/msg-mymailserver

  1. do:
TO BE WRITTEN

...yeah bestie, the manual is literally telling us "TO BE WRITTEN." iconic in a cursed way, but we move 💅

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

to process a log as produced by Netscape Messaging Server:

$ s1ms2dlf < mail.log

ngl, s1ms2dlf will be rarely used on its own — she's more of a supporting character. she's more likely called by lr_log2report:

$ lr_log2report nms < /var/log/mail.log

look at her, getting booked by the bigger program. main character energy by association 👑
