Actually, each delivery can be uniquely identified by way of the
message ID (see spec.txt on how this ID is generated). So if you in a
{perl,python,php...} script stuff each line into a hash table, with the
message ID as key, you will have all relevant information for a
particular delivery in a given element in the table. (You may safely
remove the element once you see the "Completed" line).

You can also check out the sources of "exigrep", which does something
similar.

They should be. Are you sure you are using this particular machine as
your outgoing SMTP relay in your mail app?
