Interesting. Do you plan to package it for Debian?
nope, it's just a trivial script - and one that's probably dangerous to use if you don't understand what it's doing, and i don't plan on documenting it beyond comments in the script itself. in short, it's a toy for me.
if you want to see it, look in http://taz.net.au/postfix/scripts/
it's called watch-maillog.pl
there's a bunch of other postfix related scripts in there.
One little note about that script, the DROP needs to be changed since basically you're DoSing yourself by hanging a bunch of connections because you suddenly start dropping their inbound packets while still 'in-flight' as it were. postfix's default timeouts are about 300s, so you'll want to turn those down (300s seems too generous to me for most of them anyway)
