The script is in /etc/log.d/scripts/services/mailscanner and is a 
standard Perl script.  I modify them every time they don't catch the 
things that annoy me.  At the beginning of the script there is a loop 
that just tosses lines away:
         ( $ThisLine =~ m/Message .+ added TNEF contents/ ) or
         ( $ThisLine =~ m/Content Checks: Detected and will convert 
HTML/ ) ) {
      # We don't care about these

Just add your own patterns BEFORE the last line:
         ( $ThisLine =~ m/Message .+ added TNEF contents/ ) or
         ( $ThisLine =~ m/this is my first patterm match/ ) or
         ( $ThisLine =~ m/this is my second patterm match/ ) or
         ( $ThisLine =~ m/Content Checks: Detected and will convert 
HTML/ ) ) {
      # We don't care about these

If you want the script to count some lines you'll have to look further 
down in the script and copy the behaviour of some other pattern match.  
Then you also have to add a block to print out the totals you counted.  
It's really simple.
