Hi all,

I was curious if anyone has ever taken up the task of grabbing headers
of all incoming messages to the SMTP server, parsing them, and
injecting them into a database. I'd pop these into a RDBMS later so I
can collect data on my e-mail server.

If anyone has done something similar perhaps in a language that's
powerful at parsing strings such as Perl, I'd love to hear from you.
If you haven't done it but have a good idea of where I can go to read
up on how to interface with the smtpd daemon to be able to accomplish
this, that would be great as well.

Thanks all!
