 Due the syslog lines could be cut or wrapped around. For the normal
 stuff I need the normal mainlog but for remote logging I need to log via
 syslog.

Ah, I did not realize this gave you _both_ regular log and syslog.

Looks like we have stumbled upon a another bug. ;-) 
log_file_path = :
and
log_file_path =
behave differently.

 The reason is that it falls back to
 log subdirectory of spool directory what is completely wrong as the
 default log directory is /var/log/exim4.

FWIW, the default log subdirectory resulting from 'log_file_path =' is
indeed $spooldirectory/log. ;-)

Bug#640654: Fails to determinate log file path

2011-09-06 Thread Klaus Ethgen

Hash: SHA512

Package: eximon4
Version: 4.76-2
Severity: normal

The eximon script fails to determinate the location of the log file if
it is set to ':syslog' or 'syslog:'. The reason is that it falls back to
log subdirectory of spool directory what is completely wrong as the
default log directory is /var/log/exim4.

So please fix that in /usr/sbin/eximon to default to /var/log/exim4 in
that special case or (less preferable) set a symlink from
/var/spool/exim4/log to /var/log/exim4.
