There's a shell script called logcheck which does this, you can edit lists of 
regexps to ignore in /etc/logcheck (and a list of which logs to check), and 
then anything that's left is mailed.

I've used it for ages, the only problem I've ever had is that there's no 
ignore file against things otherwise marked (by another list of regexps) as 
"active system attacks", though it wasn't difficult to add that feature. Hmm, 
I'll file a wishlist bug on that when I get around to it.
