Spam Message Quantities
-----------------------
If you have a spam collection, this package shows you how much spam you
get. Not that you really wanted to know, of course..

Quick Start
-----------
Check spanal and graph to see if the location of perl is correct, make
sure that spanal and graph are in your path, and run

 spanal spamfile1 spamfile2 ..

where the spamfiles are your spam collection. After this runs, you'll get
a bunch of PostScript (.ps) files in your current directory, and you can
look at them with gv, gs, or whatever.

Manifest
--------
You only need Perl to run the core programs, which are:

spanal: Runs through spam files, collecting statistics. After it's done,
  it runs graph (below) to create PostScript files for the complete daily
  count, the count for the past 30 days, the size distribution, and the
  hourly distribution. This script may seem kind of horrendous when you
  first look at it (after all, it is written in Perl), but it's pretty easy
  to figure out.

  Also, a bunch of .pht ("partial html") files show up in the directory.
  They have some numbers in them; they're self-contained tables. You can
  just insert these into any old HTML file and they'll show up fine in a
  browser.

  spanal accepts spam files in the mbox and mh formats. It also knows
  what to do with files that are compressed with gzip (.gz suffix).

graph: A utility that generates graphs. There are some modes on this
  program that don't work right because I don't have a reason to fix
  them yet.

The other programs are:

spmake: An example script how you might invoke this package from cron.

spgbitmap: Converts a PostScript file into a PNG bitmap. Requires netpbm.

License

This stuff is so stupid that it shouldn't require a license, but if you
want one, use the GNU GPL.
