The log format has not changed, but this is an edge case, "long" entries
get truncated, and may not include content usually expected at the
end of similar "short" entries.

In particular,

        postfix/smtp[12345]: id: to=<...>, ... (host foo said: ...

may not end with the expected number of ")" characters or include some
or all of the (in reply TO ...) context.

If the log entry were longer (1-2K in size), it could be truncated somewhere
after "said:" and before the final "))".
