Postscreen should not be configured to defer clients. That is, leave 
these settings at their default value:

    postscreen_bare_newline_enable = no
    postscreen_non_smtp_command_enable = no
    postscreen_pipelining_enable = no

With that, there are only two cases:

- postscreen allows the client, and everything of interest is already
  handled by collate.pl. This is 5% of all connections to my server.

- postscreen denies the client, and traps it in its little SMTP
  engine. This is 95% of all connections to my server.

I'm not sure why you would want to increase the output from collate.pl
by 20x, and dilute the information with garbage from postscreen.

I would recommed using a separate tool for postcreen reports. It
can be a lot simpler than collate.pl because it does not have to
track activity across a half-dozen processes.
