✨ M.A.I.L. Sentinel – My Artificial Intelligence Log Sentinel ✨

M.A.I.L. Sentinel is not just a log monitoring script; it’s an intelligent guardian created to scan, filter, and analyze Postfix log data. Inspired by the need for a smarter, self-aware sentinel over your email logs, M.A.I.L. Sentinel leverages AI to provide actionable recommendations for error resolution, ensuring your email infrastructure remains robust and secure.

Requirements ✅

• Bash shell
• Command line utilities: jq, curl, tac, mail, sendmail, awk, sed.
• Environment variables:
  • POSTFIX_REPORT_EMAIL: Recipient email address ✉️.
  • OPENAI_API_KEY: Valid OpenAI API key 🔑.

Configuration ⚙️

Create a secure configuration file (config.sh) in the project directory with your environment variables. For example:

# Secure configuration file for the M.A.I.L. Sentinel Script.
# Ensure this file is only readable by the owner (e.g., chmod 600).
export POSTFIX_REPORT_EMAIL="[email protected]"  # Recipient email ✉️
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_secure_openai_api_key"  # API key 🔑

Usage 🚀

1. Ensure that config.sh exists and has the correct permissions.
2. Run the script manually:

   ./MAIL-Sentinel.sh

3. (Optional) To run as a cronjob, add a line similar to:

   0 * * * * ~/scripts/MAIL-Sentinel/MAIL-Sentinel.sh

Security Best Practices 🔒

• Do not commit config.sh or any files containing sensitive information to version control.
• Use .gitignore to prevent accidental commits of sensitive files.
