I haven't tried it but there's a script included with Postfix that
will convert your logs to the common log format, then you can use
something like AWstats to parse it and make pretty reports, etc.

I'd like to be able to check on the status of a message that I have

from my localhost using postfix as the local MTA.
I would like to save it against a user_id in a database table such as
user_id email_id status
1 1 sent
1 2 deffered
The first solution that comes to mind when I looked at this problem is
to parse the mailog file for success or failure of a
particular send but this may end up becoming slow.
Alternatively I thought that I could pipe the file into a network
stream
and listen for new information going into the log
on a tcp stream.
Which would mean I now only see the new information and
I can parse it just as I would have parsed
an entry in the maillog file itself.
I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas on the tracking of email
delivery status specifically using postfix as the MTA.
Also with the two ideas I have put forward in the above paragraph, is
the network stream a viable idea ? and how
would I go about pipeing the file into a network stream so that it
produces the behaviour I described above ?
