AWESOME little script. Nice, Stan! One minor detail stops me from using it, however. I have an old domain hosted on my server that no longer gets any legit mail, but that serves as a great honeypot. So I direct any emails sent to that domain via Postfix to a file, and then I point my spam filtering software at it nightly to learn from it. However, those addresses all show up in the maillog as "SENT" - which adds them to the raw file in your script. I'm not a scripter, so any ideas on how to work around that, either via Postfix or via the script? Thanks, SteveJ
