i use sawmill but not for mailscanner.
i was asking last year for the mailscanner support, a short time later i
saw that it was included.


you can try
  support at thesawmill.co.uk

normal procedure:
they will ask you for a logfile-sample and what you will analyse.
the new  log_format  will be included in the next relaese

eg.

Hi xxxx, please find attached the xxxx xxxx log format plug in that
you will be able to use to analyse your logs.

Drop the file into the "LogFormats" directory and create your config. It
should auto detect as "xxxx xxxx Log Format".

Any problems let m e know.

it would be great if you/others would give them more info,
i was only asking for the support but i never gave them the requested
info because i was busy.
