Handle failed deliveries

[Vlad GURDIGA]

Hello! 👋🙂

I want to be able to handle the failed deliveries (like the one below) in a special way, like record them into a database and display them in the UI somewhere.

What would be the most natural way to get this? 🤔

Thank you!

Here is an example failed delivery from the log:

2023-03-26T07:02:23.272898+00:00 INFO postfix/smtp[20799]: F16D317B65D: to=<blah...@me.com>, relay=mx01.mail.icloud.com[17.57.156.30]:25, delay=4.3, delays=0.1/0.02/0.74/3.4, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host mx01.mail.icloud.com[17.57.156.30] said: 554 5.7.1 [HM08] Message rejected due to local policy.

install package pflogsumm

I created cronjobs to create a report hourly updated for today and one
for previous day. Reports are plain txt files and use PHP to parse the
reports to create web page for me to review...

Thank you Jonathan. 🙂

I guess pflogsumm would work in a non-real-time context. 🤔

In my case though, I need the updates to be recorded in real-time.

I ended up using `tail -f`, and then piping it into a script that does the recording.
