Another log monitoring program option is called logwatch, which is
installed by default on redhat-style distributions.

As a side note, for anyone looking to monitor their mail server you can
use the awstats web application to monitor usage & traffic. (awstats
also does a very nice job of getting stats from apache logs)


Of course, the best solution is going to depend entirely on what you are
trying to get out of the logs in the first place. :-)
