Hello!
How can I configure my Exim to send the E-mail Statistics (Main >> Email >> View Mail Statistics) to an e-mail address?
Thank you!

Thank you!

Do you have shell or root access to the server? If so I have a cron that will work for you.

My exim_mainlog commences at 4.02am every Sunday.

So I run a cron as follows to push the stats in a file called MailStats.

Code:

01 4 * * * /usr/sbin/eximstats -ne -nr -nt /var/log/exim_mainlog > MailStats

I have a small file called 4am which has the single line below in it. This sends me a mail populated with the contents of file MailStats

Code:

mail -s "Domain Server Mail Traffic as from 4a.m. Sunday to 4a.m. today" me@domain.com < MailStats

Then I run a cron as follows

Code:

02 4 * * * ./4am

Rough, but reliable, I am a noob in 'nix, this works for me.

Hope this helps

brianell, thank you so much! I was implemented your solution and all are working fine now!
So, how can I sent the SPAM statistics too ?
Thanks!

I don't do this myself, but I would run the following

Code:

01 4 * * * /usr/sbin/eximstats -ne -nr -nt /var/log/exim_rejectlog > RejectStats

and then set a cron to mail me the contents of RejectStats at an appropraite time.
