Package: rsyslog Version: 4.2.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello,
Just wanted to include that postfix mail logs are actually logged in triplicate, by default: 1) mail.log 2) mail.info, mail.warn, mail.err 3) syslog I attached a patch for rsyslog.conf that I am using to log mail.* only to mail.log -- Kind regards, Michael Shuler -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages rsyslog depends on: ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages rsyslog recommends: ii logrotate 3.7.7-3 Log rotation utility Versions of packages rsyslog suggests: pn rsyslog-doc <none> (no description available) pn rsyslog-gnutls <none> (no description available) pn rsyslog-gssapi <none> (no description available) pn rsyslog-mysql | rsyslog-pgsql <none> (no description available) pn rsyslog-relp <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
