dovecot - Jul 2021 - Traffic accounting

Hello,

Could you please tell me whether is it possible to do traffic accounting
using Dovecot 2.3.4?

What I'd like to do is to collect network traffic (both in & out) for
each user (both POP and IMAP traffic).

Regards,

It's possible, you need to adjust the IMAP & POP3 logging configuration,
then parse the mail log and collect in/out values. E.g.:

doveconf -a | egrep '(imap|pop3).*logout_format'
imap_logout_format = rcvd=%i, sent=%o
imap_urlauth_logout_format = in=%i out=%o
pop3_logout_format = rcvd=%i, sent=%o, top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, 
size=%s

egrep 'dovecot: service=imap, user=user at domain.com.au.*Logged out' 
/var/log/maillog | tail -n 1
Jul 20 15:59:38 server dovecot: service=imap, user=user at domain.com.au, 
ip=[127.0.0.1]. Logged out rcvd=38, sent=593

YMMV
