// Package logtail follows Postfix's mail.log and reconciles the send-log
// delivery statuses the journal-milter could not know at receive time
// (architecture.md § Persistence). A milter row starts life as "queued";
// Postfix only decides sent / deferred / bounced later, per recipient, and
// reports it in mail.log. This package parses those lines by queue-id +
// recipient and advances the matching rows, and prunes rows past the retention
// window.
