I've considered doing something like this as well.  To be honest I never 
did it either and I would have a lot of trouble getting it done since I'm 
not a programmer (hacker at best).  However I know of some code that could 
be useful.

http://www.analog.cx/helpers/maillog2commonlog

The helper program "maillog2commonlog" on the website for Analog (HTTP 
stats generator FYI) has code that keys off of the Sendmail queue ID or 
MessageID, I forget which.  I always planned on taking that code and 
attempting to write something that stuffed all the pieces of info into a 
database.  I never figured out how to do it though.

For the record I'm a MIMEDefang user so my log lines will be different 
that those written by spamd (at least I'd expect them to be).
