Sorry, that is an unreasonable request. Your logging was word-wrapped into one pile of text, removing existing line breaks, and adding line breaks where none should be. To split the log into individual mail delivery transactions, you can use the 'collate.pl' script. It's in the auxiliary/collate subdirectory of the Postfix source-code distribution. The README is below. Wietse This script, by Viktor Dukhovni, untangles a Postfix logfile and groups the records one "session" at a time based on queue ID and process ID information. Records from different sessions are separated by an empty line. Such text is easy to process with $/="" in perl, or RS="" in awk. Usage: perl collate.pl file... It reads standard input when no file is specified.
