NAME

Mail::Log::Parse::Postfix - Parse and return info in Postfix maillogs

SYNOPSIS

use Mail::Log::Parse::Postfix;

(See Mail::Log::Parse for more info.)

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Mail::Log::Parse, which handles parsing for Postfix mail logs.

USAGE

set_year

Sets the year, for the log timestamps. If not set, the log is assumed to be for the current year. (Can also be passed in new, with the key 'year'.)

next

Returns a hash of the next line of postfix log data.

Hash keys are:

delay_before_queue, delay_connect_setup, delay_in_queue, 
delay_message_transmission, from, host, id, msgid, pid, program, 
relay, size, status, text, timestamp, to, delay, connect,
disconnect

All keys are garunteed to be present. 'program', 'pid', 'host', 'timestamp', 'id' and 'text' are garunteed to have a value. 'connect' and 'disconnect' are boolean: true if the line is the relevant type of line, false otherwise.

The 'text' key will have all of the log text after the standard Postfix header. (All of which is in the other keys that are required to have a value.)

BUGS

None known at the moment.

REQUIRES

Scalar::Util, Time::Local, Mail::Log::Parse, Mail::Log::Exceptions

HISTORY

Nov 28, 2008 - Switched 'total_delay' to slightly more universal 'delay'. Sped up some regrexes.

Nov 11, 2008 - Switched to using the bufferable _parse_next_line instead of the unbuffered next.

Nov 6, 2008 - Added set_year and alternate year handling, in case we aren't dealing with this year's logs. (From the todo list.)

Oct 24, 2008 - Added 'connect' and 'disconnect' members to the return hash.

Oct 6, 2008 - Inital version.
