You really are better off using Kiwi Syslog for this. I think it's 75$ and it allows you to do SO much with respect to how you collect the data. You filter out PO3 vs IMAP and so on. You filter out 10054, 10053 errors. You can filter on 5xx errors. It really is worth it and it does all of the work for you. Zips up the logs each night, notifies you regarding logs size status, hard drive space.....check it out.
