@morantis are you certain you've not misread the file size of your client list. Can you confirm what compression is used on the file?

Also, is the web server you mentioned hardly ever used? To have 7 years worth of logs come to under 87KB seems highly unlikely even when compressed unless it's unused most days.

I'd also echo the above posters in asking what command it is you're running when you SSH into the router to access the routers logs (it would also be helpful if you could say what model the router is, then everyone could look info up themselves and cut out some back and forth questions)

I know you don't _have_ to prove anything, but you made a number of claims that just sound wrong to a number of other people on here. In the end it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, but without you providing the additional information asked for, there's no way for us to know if we're wrong or not.

Our client list is from the past five years, updated weekly from five operating locations, six people each location.
6 people at each of the five locations would be 30 email addresses per week added to the file. After 5 years that'd be under 10,000 email addresses. How come the file has half a million entries if that's the case? Also every week it is updated, are the new email addresses added unique or potentially repeats from previous weeks?

Both of those could have a huge impact on whether the file could make 37KB or not.
