Topic: How to replicate the iRedMail Security Status Mails without iRedmail

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version ---
- Deployed with iRedMail ---
- Debian 11
- Store mail accounts ---
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? -- no
====

Hi there,

I tried iRedMail some months ago and really fell in love with the security status mails. It was awesome to see root logins, with ip address, login attempts, fail2ban, virus scans and all the other logs.

How can I apply such status mails on a server that isn't iRedMail. It should be possible, since iRedMail is opensource smile

I don't like being spoonfeeded, but I can't find any guide on how to do something even similar to what iRedMail does. Can you please point me in the right direction? Also thanks for the quick response

debian 11:

apt-get install watchlog

thats's all, it is not iredmail related

if you want to automate it, create a daily cron with:

logwatch --detail high --range yesterday --format html --mailto root

Well, not exactly. In Debian Bullseye it is logwatch. Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction smile
