If you wanna see something really cool, install a wee program called xosd
(http://www.ignavus.net/) and try this:

tail --follow=name /var/log/mail/info | osd_cat -c red

(using --follow=name means that tail handles log rotations sensibly)

You'll see the log scroll as it changes on the top of the screen using
see-through text. really funky.
