Question

How do you calculate bandwidth usage per email account?

 

Answer

This article provides commands for calculating the bandwidth usage per email account for a given domain and protocol (e.g., imap or pop3).

Note: cPanel support cannot assist with troubleshooting, using, or interpreting this command's output.

  1. Log in to the server via SSH or WHM's Terminal as the root user
  2. Run the following commands to calculate the usage:
In gigabytes

# read -p "cPanel User: " user ; read -p "Domain: " domain ; read -p "Protocol: " protocol ; awk -F':' '{print$1}' /home/$user/etc/$domain/shadow|while read address;do printf "%s@$domain: " "$address";grep "$protocol.*${address}@$domain" /var/log/maillog|awk -F'/' '/bytes/{SUM += $NF}END {printf "%.2f\n", SUM/1024/1024/1024}';done

In megabytes

# read -p "cPanel User: " user ; read -p "Domain: " domain ; read -p "Protocol: " protocol ; awk -F':' '{print$1}' /home/$user/etc/$domain/shadow|while read address;do printf "%s@$domain: " "$address";grep "$protocol.*${address}@$domain" /var/log/maillog|awk -F'/' '/bytes/{SUM += $NF}END {printf "%.2f\n", SUM/1024/1024}';done
