[spamdyke-users] spamdyke forgets to log sometimes ?
I've had twice the following issue with spamdyke : no reference to a message is found in /var/log/mail.info but i can find it in qmail logs... Dunno whether it's syslog losing log lines or a bug in spamdyke ? (there is no way for the message to avoid spamdyke on this server) have a nice day ! -- Sébastien Guilbaud ___ spamdyke-users mailing list spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users
Re: [spamdyke-users] spamdyke forgets to log sometimes ?
A few questions: What version of spamdyke are you using? Older versions didn't log every message, especially if the connection was whitelisted. Newer versions should log everything. Also, how busy is your server? syslogd will drop messages if the server is overloaded; I believe this is why DJB didn't use it for qmail. With the latest version of spamdyke, you can use the log-target directive to make spamdyke avoid syslog. Its messages will appear in the same files as your qmail logs. I'd be very interested to know if that solves the problem. -- Sam CLippinger Seb wrote: I've had twice the following issue with spamdyke : no reference to a message is found in /var/log/mail.info but i can find it in qmail logs...

What version of spamdyke are you using? Older versions didn't log every message, especially if the connection was whitelisted. Newer versions should log everything. 3.1.1 installed this morning in place of 3.1.0 Also, how busy is your server? syslogd will drop messages if the server is overloaded; I believe this is why DJB didn't use it for qmail. This server is a lot cooler since spamdyke was installed :-) Thanks a lot for spamdyke, sam, it works perfectly on 6+ servers (and counting) and stops loads of spam : 71 smtp connections refused on about 73 incoming connections on the biggest server (a day), not bad at all :-) With the latest version of spamdyke, you can use the log-target directive to make spamdyke avoid syslog. Its messages will appear in the same files as your qmail logs. I'd be very interested to know if that solves the problem. ouch. This would break my munin plugin and a couple of scripts I use to extract statistics. I'll try to modify them to handle multilog log files and tai timestamps one of these days -- Sébastien Guilbaud ___ spamdyke-users mailing list spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org http://www.spamdyke.org/mailman/listinfo/spamdyke-users

Wow -- 730K daily connections is a pretty busy server. What do your load and CPU utilization numbers look like? Does syslog log to files on the local machine or are you using a network syslog server? Most importantly, are you seeing any other missing messages or is this issue specific to spamdyke? -- Sam Clippinger Seb wrote: What version of spamdyke are you using?
