Didn't yet do so, I still need to find the time to clean up my code and
remove the parts that depend too heavily on our specific setup. And I
also need to somehow replace them by something more generic :-)

Leaving most of this job up to postfix would be great - but it doesn't
look like this would happen anytime soon. I'm currently running two
postfix hosts, two amavis hosts and two relay hosts behind them. There
are some other mail servers too, but these are the most important ones.
My parser is getting all logs (a few million delivery attempts each day)
and correlates them in "real-time".

Doing so I can

- provide all my customers with a daily notification if there are mails
   in quarantine (if they like to get such thing)
- they are provided with an undangerous preview of quarantined mail
- they have realtime-access to quarantined mail
- they get a quick summary about rejected and delivered mails
- VIP customers have realtime secure log access for their domains and
   are also provided with long-time statistics
- our help desk is provided with strong tools allowing them to do quick
   researches once a customer with mail problems is calling.

I'm back from holidays since yesterday - and I'll be away once again in
some week. So right now I'm completely covered with lots of work - and
I see no real chance to start this OSS project before mid-August.

Unfortunately the fact that I'm running it in production since more than
half a year doesn't mean that starting such a project will be a one-day
job ;-)

Kind regards,
Thomas Gelf
