# This is a script to parse syslog messages from a Barracuda Spam Firewall and
# extract only the error messages.

# It makes several assumptions (not the least of which that your barracuda logs to /var/log/maillog),
# and might need to be tweaked (or not work at all) if your syslog format differs from the one
# I was using in any way.

# This script lives at http://www.elifulkerson.com
