Monitor Postfix outgoing mail delivery

There is no way to monitor the sent mails in a clean way. You can only grep the details from the maillog of postfix.

Here is an example:

log='logfile of postfix'
grep "status=sent" $log | \
egrep -ve 'postfix/(cleanup|pickup|master|qmgr|smtpd|local|pipe)'

And also avoid the logs for dkim etc. If you need the count of mails then pipe on wc -l at the end.

How about:

multitail -eX "smtp.*to=<(.*)>.*sent.*250" './bin/received' -f /var/log/maillog

./bin/received is a shell script that gets the destination email address as a parameter and does something with it.
