Hi Everyone,

Based on user feedback, a host of new features and refinements have been
added to qmail-logfilter.

It can be downloaded here:
http://briefcase.yahoo.com/[email protected]

New Features:
1.) Ability to extract the Message-ID from the data stream and log it.
Specified by an argument.
3.) Ability to concatenate two lines broken up by recordio, if they are
sequential.
3.) Greatly improved synching with tcpserver messages that should remove the
need for full resets -- this is most
     noticeable on busy mail servers.
4.) Improved ability to catch normal data streams, and the ability to catch
TLS data streams
5.) New command line arguments, such as:
    a.) Ability to filter out all local, all remote commands, or both.
    b.) Option to log or not to log the Message-ID
    c.) 4 levels of verbosity to STDERR.
    d.) Option to specify a child program(s) to run.

Also, several bug fixes that should greatly increase the accuracy of the
program.

For those of you new to the program:

NAME
    qmail-logfilter  - Filters out the data portion of an email in a
tcpserver/recordio
    data stream

SYNOPSIS
    qmail-logfilter [options] [program to direct output to]

DESCRIPTION
    The purpose of this program is to allow qmail, running under tcpserver
    (which is part of Daemon Tools, by DJB) and recordio (which is part
    of ucspi-tcp. by DJB) to log the SMTP conversation and Message-ID,
without also logging
    the DATA portion of the email (i.e. the email body). It expects a
tcpserver/recordio data stream
    as input, and outputs to stdout by default, or you may optionally
specify
    a program (like multilog) to which qmail-logfilter will execute and
direct
    it's output .
