Another astute fellow offered this:
sed -E \
-e "s/by[[:space:]]+//" \
-e "s/\(\[?(([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3})\]?\)/\1/" \
-e "s/[[:space:]]*(\(|id|via|with|E?SMTP|;).*//"
The idea being to pull anything that looks like an IP address out of
parentheses first (2nd command), then junk any other parenthetical
stuff with the other cruft on the line (3rd command).
I did learn a new "syntax" from your script, nonetheless. Thanks,
Dave
