+
+collectd-email - Documentation of collectd's C<email plugin>

+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  # See collectd.conf(5)
+  LoadPlugin email

+  <Plugin email>
+    SocketGroup "collectd"
+    SocketPerms "0770"

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The C<email plugin> opens an UNIX-socket over which one can submit email
+statistics, such as the number of "ham", "spam", "virus", etc. mails
+received/handled, spam scores and matched spam checks.
+
+This plugin is intended to be used with the
+L<Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Collectd> SpamAssassin-plugin which is included
+in F<contrib/>, but is of course not limited to that use.
+
+=head1 OPERATION
+
+This plugin collects data indirectly by providing a UNIX-socket that external
+programs can connect to. A simple line based protocol is used to communicate
+with the plugin:
+

+
+E-Mail type (e.g. "ham", "spam", "virus", ...) and size (bytes):

+
+If C<size> is less than or equal to zero, C<size> is ignored.

+
+Each line is limited to 256 characters (including the newline character).
