The syslog severity of individual logfile messages is not adjustable.
Options:
- Edit the Perl script to scream bloody murder to the syslog daemon.
- Invoke the Perl script from a shell script that screams bloody
murder when the command exits with a non-zero status.
- Use a suitable regular expression that matches logfile lines
from the pipe daemon with status=bounced or status=deferred.
Plenty of options, no need to mess up Postfix source.
