The FreeBSD syslogd has an extended syntax that allows this. The original syslog.conf syntax is very limited. It appears that Debian uses the syslogd out of inetutils, and this only implements the basics, so you are out of luck. I don't know if there are alternative syslog packages available. Maybe you should search the package lists for one. An example FreeBSD /etc/syslog.conf would be: !imapd mail.info /var/log/imapd.log !pop3d mail.info /var/log/pop3d.log !courieresmtp,courieresmtpd,courierlocal mail.info /var/log/maillog !-imapd,pop3d,courieresmtp,courieresmtpd,courierlocal mail.info /var/log/courier.log This separates out pop3, imap, esmtp in/out and local deliveries. Everything else ends up in the courier.log file, which would mainly be errors and general status messages. Now the maillog file will only receive logs to do with actual mail delivery. Other than that you could patch courier to use the LOCAL facilities and give each courier program a different facility. You could then put local1 into one file, local2 into another, etc. > Also I would be grateful for a hint of where to find docs on U*X > logging so that I can understand how this works. "man 5 syslog.conf" and "man 8 syslogd". Or failing that "man -k syslog" and see what options are listed. Warning: Copyright ResMed.
