[CLUE-Tech] spam assassin

[Mike Staver]

Jeremy - I have modified the command slightly here to this:

grep "identified spam" /var/log/maillog* | wc -l

That way it gets all my mail logs... my only other question is, I'm 
trying to figure out how to make so that it does this for a specific 
user.  In the logs, I see this:

identified spam (7.9/5.0) for bart:506 in 0.4 seconds, 1792 bytes.

So, using "identified spam (7.9/5.0) for bart" won't work because of the 
changing numbers.  Is there a way to use an expression of some kind 
while using grep?  I've tried

grep -e "identified spam" -e "for bart" /var/log/maillog* | wc -l

And it returned a number, I just have no idea if it's correct.  It seems 
very high to me, and I'm sure it's not correct, as you can see from the 
results below:

[root at fimble staver]# grep -e "identified spam" -e "for bart" 
/var/log/maillog* | wc -l
   10736
[root at fimble staver]# grep "identified spam" /var/log/maillog* | wc -l
    8755

My end goal is to write a small perl script I can submit to a cron job 
and have it dump the results in a mysql table.  I'll then write a php 
script to graph the data, and show results based on each user vs the 
grand total for certain weeks, etc.
