I don't have to shotgun a million lines of logs and other irrelevant data for people here to troll through.
Why would anyone need to troll through a million or more lines of logs?
I said that you needed to provide logs of a problem *transaction* - this inherently means providing *only* the relevant lines of the actual problem transaction.

Also, if you don't trust me that the new messages are there from doing a tail on the mbox file, then you certainly shouldn't trust me to actually fix anything either, logs/proof or no.
So this request of "proof" is a bit over the top. <sarcasm> Do I have to get them notarized too? </sarcasm>
Don't be silly, it isn't a personal attack on you, and it isn't about 'trust' in you as an individual, it is about not wasting other people's valuable time chasing wild geese.
Note: don't go on the postfix list asking for help without providing the information I suggested, as they will not be nearly as gentle/kind as I was pointing out the need for it. It is actually a requirement outlined in the welcome message you get when joining their support list (and in my opinion it would be very helpful on this list if the welcome message had a similar requirement):
TO REPORT A PROBLEM see: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail
