I modified my sendmail logwatch script to avoid seeing unnecessary messages (unknown users, virus scanning, etc). Take a look at the perl script at (assuming RH linux): /etc/log.d/scripts/services/sendmail If you don't want to see 'User unknown' messages, just add this line: ( $ThisLine =~ m/User unknown/ ) or somewhere between the first and last lines in this section: while (defined($ThisLine = <STDIN>)) { if ( ( $ThisLine =~ m/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+: to=.*stat=/ ) or ( $ThisLine =~ m/^alias database [^ ]* (auto)?rebuilt by/ ) or ( $ThisLine =~ m/^[^ ]*: [0-9]* aliases, longest [0-9]* bytes, [0-9]* bytes total/ ) or ( $ThisLine =~ m/^starting daemon (.*):/ ) or ( $ThisLine =~ m/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+: clone [a-zA-Z0-9]+, owner=/ ) ) { # We don't care about these } ...
