Yes this looks fine.

Yes, it's looking for SMTP-Deliver.

SMTP-Accept:Received is used in multiple place of the post.office log.
Some of them are in Error-Handler.  The maillogconvert.pl is smarter 
than that.  It will detect a number before:SMTP-Accept:Received, and 
make sure the entry is in the correct format before it counts it as 
one legal entry.  Post.Office log has a lot of mass in there, and 
SMTP-Accept:Received could be in more places than the legal entries.
Sorry that I didn't make this clear before.
