Yes, I want it to run every 15 minutes and only add new events which have appeared in the last 15 minutes.

Yes the log file rotates at present its approximatly once a day, when the file rotates the previous one is also gziped. The rotation isn't synced with my script as its based on volume. If we can examine the old log file in the case of rotation that would be extremely helpful.

15 minutes of data before the time on the clock.

mail::spamassassin::plugin::phishtag

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag(3) 		User Contributed Perl Documentation		   Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag(3)

NAME

       PhishTag - SpamAssassin plugin for redirecting links in incoming emails.

SYNOPSIS

	loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::PhishTag

	trigger_ratio	 0.1
	trigger_target	 RULE_NAME  http://www.antiphishing.org/consumer_recs.html

DESCRIPTION

       PhishTag enables administrators to rewrite links in emails that trigger certain tests, preferably anti-phishing blacklist tests. The plugin
       will inhibit the blocking of a portion of the emails that trigger the test by SpamAssassin, and let them pass to the users' inbox after the
       rewrite. It is useful in providing training to email users about company policies and general email usage.

OPTIONS

       The following options can be set by modifying the configuration file.

       o   trigger_ratio percentage_value

	   Sets the probability in percentage that a positive test will trigger the email rewrite, e.g. 0.1 will rewrite on the average 1 in 1000
	   emails that match the trigger.

       o   trigger_target RULE_NAME http_url

	   The name of the test which would trigger the email rewrite; all the URLs will be replaced by http_url.

DOWNLOAD

       The source of this plugin is avaliable at: http://umut.topkara.org/PhishTag/PhishTag.pm a sample configuration file is also available:
       http://umut.topkara.org/PhishTag/PhishTag.cf
