poststats

Nearly every Linux Server owner is running his own Postfix Mailserver. Securely sending emails becomes more and more complicated over time. Statistics on the Postfix Mailserver can currently only be accessed via Mailgraph. We provide an alternative presentation by e-mail. The software is developed in Bash for performance reasons and is very easy to install. We are looking forward to your feedback!
