tail and truncated logfile (solved)

[houtworm]

To monitor my postfix logfile, I use:
tail -f /var/log/mail.log | egrep 'NOQUEUE|delivered'

At the daily maintenance, the logfile is truncated and tail just stops monitoring. I have to ^C and restart
Is there a solution for this? Perhaps another monitoring program or a script that restarts tail?
