It is packaged to be used with logwatch.

The main reason I built the package is to get this into Fedora EPEL, because the
postfix script in logwatch in RHEL does not produce such a nice output.

These two benefits are no advantages of the standalone program, but only of this
package at all, imho. When the script is run from logwatch it is more up to date
and decoupled from logwatch's schedule, too.

This can be done.
