I reject using individual messages prefixed with a code, for example
[A31]
Expanding the Logwatch Exim module, I process these messages and
Logwatch then displays easy to read summaries for all types of errors
and rejections. It makes the daily Logwatch reading informed, simple and
fairly quick. The relevant information is displayed; the unnecessary
data is not. More detailed data is instantly available via a HTTP
programme (.php of course) running on the MTA server.
This is simply letting the computer do the work for you :-)
