[courier-users] Uniform logfile format; Generic logging interface

I think this is a good idea. I also think that Courier could use a more generic, modular logging interface, so we can log to a PostgreSQL database or other non-file data stores. BTW, Sam, congratulations for your web site redesign, I like it! :-) --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
Re: [courier-users] Uniform logfile format; Generic logging interface
does anyone object to coming up with a standard way to format log messages? Yes, one could use awstats then to evaluate them. But, speaking of this, a question comes to mind that I was thinking about for months now but had more urgent problems. On my system courier (out of the .deb box) logs the same data into /var/log/syslog, mail.log, mail.info which (together with maildrop, spamassasssin ans fetchmail) renders hundreds of megabites of (triplicate) log data. My question: Is it possible to tell courier to log say popd data into /var/log/pop3.log imap4 data respectively to /var/log/imap4.log smtp data to smtp.log etc... without putting everything together into 3 different files. Or is it not intended to be that way and I am doing something wrong? Also I would be grateful for a hint of where to find docs on U*X logging so that I can understand how this works. thanks, Maichel. --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 ___ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

RE: [courier-users] Uniform logfile format; Generic logging interface
My question: Is it possible to tell courier to log say popd data into /var/log/pop3.log imap4 data respectively to /var/log/imap4.log smtp data to smtp.log etc... without putting everything together into 3 different files. Or is it not intended to be that way and I am doing something wrong? The FreeBSD syslogd has an extended syntax that allows this. The original syslog.conf syntax is very limited. It appears that Debian uses the syslogd out of inetutils, and this only implements the basics, so you are out of luck. I don't know if there are alternative syslog packages available. Maybe you should search the package lists for one. An example FreeBSD /etc/syslog.conf would be: !imapd mail.info /var/log/imapd.log !pop3d mail.info /var/log/pop3d.log !courieresmtp,courieresmtpd,courierlocal mail.info /var/log/maillog !-imapd,pop3d,courieresmtp,courieresmtpd,courierlocal mail.info /var/log/courier.log This separates out pop3, imap, esmtp in/out and local deliveries. Everything else ends up in the courier.log file, which would mainly be errors and general status messages. Now the maillog file will only receive logs to do with actual mail delivery. Other than that you could patch courier to use the LOCAL facilities and give each courier program a different facility. You could then put local1 into one file, local2 into another, etc. Also I would be grateful for a hint of where to find docs on U*X logging so that I can understand how this works. man 5 syslog.conf and man 8 syslogd. Or failing that man -k syslog and see what options are listed. Warning: Copyright ResMed.
