I seem to recall this is a more generic couriertcpd option, not specific to the logger. It is mentioned in the tcpd manpage.
Pardon me and thank you Bill, you're right. I was being shortsighted when interpreting the contents of that env var just now.
On a potentially related note: I have two machines running courier. One of them logs like this:
Feb 7 18:34:07 basil courieresmtpd: started,ip=[66.11.173.61]
while the other like this:
Feb 7 18:34:07 minty courieresmtpd: started,ip=[::ffff:66.11.173.61]
This seems to have something to do with ipv6, but neither machine has an ipv6 interface running nor is configured for it. I prefer the former style of logging. What configuration am I overlooking which affects this?
The IPv6-style formatting is used if the O/S is capable of supporting IPv6, even if no IPv6 interfaces are actually turned on.
