I was hoping someone had done the leg-work on that and published it. Guess
not.

I'm fairly new to this, what do most people do with their daily reports?

Thanks

Check out procmail (ports/mail/procmail) it allows you to invoke filters
and regex on your mail, you may be able to combine the effect of 'diff'
against a template and filtering out changes regarding just hostnames
to route all mail that matches a template to /dev/null or a holding box
while flagging mail that differs too much to a special mailbox.

let us know :)
