It is more of a anti-DoS tool.
If anvil is, and should be, enabled in master.cf, then Postfix will use it. The parameters in the link that Ralf posted control smtpd and anvil will report based on anvil_status_update_time. Please read the Diagnostics section of 'man 8 anvil'. You will see log lines like this: Jun 10 09:40:11 mx postfix/anvil[3303]: statistics: max connection rate 2/60s for (smtp:xx.xx.xx.xx) at Jun 10 09:31:56 Jun 10 09:40:11 mx postfix/anvil[3303]: statistics: max connection count 2 for (smtp:xx.xx.xx.xx) at Jun 10 09:31:56 Jun 10 09:40:11 mx postfix/anvil[3303]: statistics: max cache size 3 at Jun 10 09:32:56 Again, anvil is for identifying problem clients, NOT for logging EVERY client
