Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: normal

violations.ignore.d/logcheck-postfix includes the following rule:

  ^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ postfix/smtpd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: 
warning: [-._[:alnum:]]+\[[.[:digit:]]+\]: SASL 
(LOGIN|PLAIN|(DIGEST|CRAM)-MD5|APOP) authentication failed:?$


The trailing ":?$" appears to be in error, as the ":" would imply some
additional text that would not be matched.  (Indeed, all such warnings
are "authentication failed: authentication failure" in my case.  And no,
I don't know who came up with that wording.  <g>)

I would think that "(:.*)?$" would be more useful, or, if we put on our
paranoid hats, "(: authentication failure)?$".
