Package: logcheck Severity: wishlist Since logcheck processes all filter files anyway (instead of just feeding them to egrep -f), the following may be trivial to implement:
It would be nice if logcheck filter files would honour variables,
e.g.:
# LEAD=^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [-._[:alnum:]]+
# PROCNAME_SMTPD=postfix/smtpd\[[[:digit:]]+\]
# QUEUEID=(NOQUEUE|[[:upper:][:digit:]]+)
# IP=([:digit:]{1,3}\.){3}[:digit:]{1,3}
@LEAD@ @PROCNAME_SMTPD@: $QUEUEID@: reject: RCPT from @[EMAIL
PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
Then, it would also make sense to define a default LEAD, or default
matches for IP addresses and hostnames etc, which can be overridden.
