could use 2 liner

#!/bin/sh
cat /var/log/maillog | grep DENIED | mail you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


## above to email you or could just write to a file which u would need to clean out every so often - maybe another cron say weekly to remove it?

#!/bin/sh
cat /var/log/maillog | grep DENIED >> /home/sites/sitexx/web/deniedstuff

pop into one of the cron directories and chmod 755 have to be root
ie
/etc/cron.hourly
/etc/cron.daily
