On the box that we have here, every six hours a cron script goes into the
send log directory and grabs all the non-current logs. It then concatenates
them into on and sends them through a couple of components of qmailanalog.
We have a couple specific accounts that need to be kept track of so the
translated log messages relating to them get a "To:" line added to the top
with an address and are sent through inject to the people who need them. The
rest are sent to me so I can track problems. Then the concatanated logs are
gzipped and dumped into a directory that, every so often, gets put onto a
colorado tape and stashed away for records.
