Exim's logging is *fully* configurable, both as to format (such as time) and trigger-event. See 'log_selector' and the '+' and '-' options list. In the extreme case, you can shut off nearly everything except what you specifically generate in your own acl's with 'logwrite' or 'log_message'. Even there, you can decide *which* log the text is put into with: :main: :reject: :panic: - at the start of the text. You can even use the otherwies (hopefully) idle 'paniclog' to build .csv format files for upload to a DB or spreadsheet: log_write = :panic:,<field1>,<field2>,<field 'n'> Bill -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
