Hello!
First of all thank you for sendmailanalyzer! We use it in for analyze statistic our mail forwarding farms.
We use it with some custom patches. One of them filters out some postscreen (new postfix subsystem) messages, which are not errors, but info messages. This messages are "BARE NEWLINE" and "WHITELIST VETO". Such message appears very often in case using postscreen and all comes into the "Rejection & Events" section "System messages" part. Considering that such messages appears 800-1000 times in one hour, result cache file for one month contains more than a half million of them. The messages described here http://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html#barelf and here http://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html#white_veto. Can you please add this messages to filtering out in the sendmailanalyzer and sa_cache.

Regards,
Dmitriy F.
