Instead of a cron script, use isa_plugin to spin off a log parser, but I might prefer the log parser to be completely independent of qpsmtpd. I don't see why it would be a time critical operation, so a cron poll would work here.
Actually, the normal way to do this is to use a !processor directive for multilog (which fires when the current log is renamed to a .s file). If your log processing step takes a significant amount of time, it is appropriate to fork a new process to handle the actual log processing and return immediately to multilog (remembering to echo the current contents of the log file being renamed so that it will still be stored in the .s file).
