First some background. What I am trying to do is write a script that
syslog can be piped into that will parse the maillog in real time and
insert the items into the database -- one row per queue ID (and possibly
one per recipient in another related table).
If there is any program that can do this (or close to this) let me know
and save me continue to try to write this.
Anyway, on to the problems. How do I deal with log entries like this. A
queue ID is created, but nothing ever happens to it. There is no reject
There was one valid recipient, but the mail transaction was not
completed. This could be a header_checks rule, or a network failure
or the client crashing. Any logfile processor will have to deal
sessions that do not go from start to end.

Thanks, but those particular causes doesn't seem to explain it.
This system does not have any header checks (the server it's receiving
the mail from does all the spam/etc. filtering) and if it was a network
failure or client crashing there should be an additional error message
like /^timeout after ([A-Z-]+) (.*)$/ or ^/lost connection after
([A-Z-]+).*from (.*)$/
