I'd second the recommendation for splunk. It's a fantastic product, is easy to setup and would provide you with a way to aggregate and then easily search over all your data. Aggregation is the easy part, the searching, correlation, etc is not easy. I've implemented splunk at three different places and am in the middle of a deployment currently.

We're discussing options on how to process the logs mainly from our mail
and web servers to make troubleshooting easier.  We're not really
looking for long term storage; just a better way to be able to search
the logs to diagnose either specific customer issues, broad system
attacks, issues across a pool of servers or issues with a specific server.

splunk would be the obvious commercial product for this space.

http://www.opensyslog.com is a online hosted log consolidation tool. In
beta.

I've seen a variety of open source things in the log processing world. I
don't think they're generally very flashy, and I'm not sure what the
current favorites are. googling around syslog processing finds some
suggestions.
