Hi,

We run a small company. Our mailserver is Postfix. We are looking
for a way to parse the maillog and remove bad addresses.

We were looking at Parse::Syslog::Mail, but we're not sure that is
what we want. What we need to know is whether the email originated
fro our server, and if it did, we can look at the message and
determine if we need to remove it from our mailings lists.....

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Writing a customized Perl script
seems a bit cumbersome......

Thank you!

Why don't you simply use a real maling list manager with VERP which
will remove the invalid addresses automagically
