You'll need to use grep as well as find

something like 

find -name "*.log" | grep "@" > list.txt

but check out the grep man page as I always have to (short circuit in my head over the 
exact syntax of grep sometimes ;o) )

This should give you every line that has an @ in it in all the log files and redirect 
into list.txt

later
