Script question

[Olivier Nicole]

Jason,

> I would like to be able to scan the daily maillog with a script at midnight to extract a list by selecting spam recognized and contained using the constant "score=(greater than x) and from that a list of just the IPs which will be placed in a spam file as part of a spam system here. Am tired of some getting past spamass even though it exceeds a reasonable tag level.

What would be the typical lines from the log?

I;d use Perl rather than sh.
