Steve, 

	Here is another way taken from a similar problem I solved a few days
ago.  My solution parses a different file and ignores the entries to 127.0.0.1:

cat /var/log/secure | grep "in.ftpd" | egrep -v '(127.0.0.1)' | mail -s ya
da ya da..... 

The trick I think you are looking for is the egrep -v command.  That matches
all those entries that don't match the regex.  I hope this is what you need.

Good Luck,

Ben Beeson
