Hello,

I am trying to write a perl scrip that will read thru maillog and provide information such as

date,toaddress,fromaddress,

I am looking at the maillog file and the data is not straightforward: I see entries like:

Nov 19 21:02:23 hostname postfix/<type>
where type: smtp,smtpd,pickup,qmgr,local,cleanup.

Where can I found out about each of these types of entries?


Thanks.
