The most straightforward and non-intrusive way is to pass all the messages to the syslog. That functionality is already built-in for both postfix and dovecot. Say for dovecot configuration should look like that:
. . . .
log_path = syslog
syslog_facility = mail
. . . .
syslog can direct all the messages received from the certain binary to the pipe.
mail.* |/tmp/maillog.pipe
Then some script should read that pipe, parse lines and invoke the CLI mysql client that store the data into the database.
#!/bin/sh
while read LINE
do
# all the parsing should be written here
mysql -e "USE maillog; INSERT INTO $table VALUES ($a, $b, $c);"
# any additional proceeding can be performed here
done < /tmp/maillog.pipe
####
All that isn't a working solution but just a hint. Exact configuration and script code depend on your actual needs.
