Hmmm… Rather than fiddling trying to adjust the log_selector up/down for failed/working deliveries it might be better just to use the *logwrite* directive and output whatever information you want.
We use this technique along with a Perl script that runs continuously monitoring the logfile looking for the trigger keywords we include in the lines of interest. (Make sure you tie its regular expression down sufficiently so that it doesn't trigger if one of those keywords/patterns appears in, say, a delivered message's Subject text!) We use Perl's *File::Tail* module to monitor the logfile as it handles the logfile being rotated whilst the script is running, picking up the change and continuing with the new logfile automatically. Then we use the *Email::Send* module to generate and send the notification to our admins. If you're going to be triggering report emails when a message fails to deliver make sure you catch the case of one of the script's report emails failing to be delivered to one of your admins! Otherwise you'll have a nice loop of the script spotting the problem, triggering another report, which then fails, is detected, triggers another report, which… Cheers, Mike B-) On 18 March 2016 at 02:08, 3YSTech Services <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like get alerted on failed delivered emails from EXIM ..
