I did not realized it would be so time-consuming. I wish I could offer my help on that, but I'm unable to write a single line of code. Do you think it would be relevant to launch a crowd-funding campaign so that you or a trusted Postfix contributor could get paid to work on that? I'm pretty confident some logstash users would invest. Patrick
