Where are the logs keeps so I can see when a user check his pop email last?

 

[sitekeeper]

To see live logins, you can use:
tail -f /var/log/maillog

To see the last 500 lines in the log:
tail -500 /var/log/maillog

And to check when a specific user last checked their email:

grep [email protected] /var/log/maillog*

(omit the '*' to make the command faster, but it will only check about the last 24 hours, so if it doesn't produce output, add the '*' back and try again).

Add a " | more " to the end of that to prevent hundreds upon hundreds of checks whizzing past if your users are like mine and check their email every .06 seconds. :D

grep [email protected] /var/log/maillog* | more

Now when the page fills hit the space bar to see the next page. Hit CTRL-C to escape back out to the command line.
