*nice* maillog output

this is probably asking a bit much.. but no harm in asking..

I currently have a spare 14" monitor connected to the mail server so I 
can monitor whats going on..

it is permanently running the following:

tail -f /var/log/maillog | grcat conf.log

this displays the following in various colors:

etc etc

this is more info than I need and just clutters up (and wraps around) on 
the 14" monitor..

is there an obvious/easy way to trim it.. for example:

Jun 22 - (20:19:26) Mail From: <someone at somedomain.com> to 
<craig at 8010.co.uk> (Clean)
Jun 22 - (20:20:30) Mail From: <someone at somedomain.com> to 
<craig at 8010.co.uk> (Spam)

colored and columned?

I know this is asking a bit much.. but thought I'd ask...

Cheers

Craig
