postfind 0.2.0

Follow a message (by Message-ID) in postfix logs

Find postfix log-entries related to a given Message-ID

Postfind takes an email Message-ID and one or more postfix log file names as input, and searches the logs for mentions of the given Message-ID. If found, related log entries are followed as well, until terminated by finding a queue-id ‘removed’ entry, the end of the log files, or a timeout (if following a log file).
