I'm working on a similar thing to John - I would like to do the same thing as he has accomplished, but I do not want to have the
program messagewallstats writing STDIN to STDERR, which is how John's solution works.

I've patched messagewallstats so it reads from STDIN, and I'd like to send the output to qmail-inject. So, this will process the
current log file and mail the output of the program to postmaster:

!{ messagewallstats | qmail-inject postmaster }

Am I correct in thinking that this will mean that the current log file will be not be written to an old file? How can I achieve
this?

Thanks,
