Good article from the founder of reMail (recently acquired by Google), I particularly like point #1:
I would aim for a RESTful design with the following properties: 1. All communication over HTTP / HTTPS: Pure TCP connections are great, but for transferring large amounts of email, HTTP is the way to go. Problems like security, parallel downloads, persistent connections, caching, compression, download continuation via ranges, and so on have already been solved. There is no reason to solve them again.

Postfix and Amavis Log Reporters.
The postfix-logwatch and amavis-logwatch utilities are postfix and amavisd-new log analyzers that produce summaries, reports and statistics regarding the operation of postfix and amavis. Either utility can be used as a standalone program, or as a filter module for the open source logwatch utility.
Works with an existing centos 5.4 install, and produces better output than the standard postfix logwatch.
