[OT] tcpserver machine, running amanda?

2001-08-06 Thread Todd Finney
I'd like to complete the removal of inetd from a server, and run everything under tcpserver. Amanda looks like it needs a UDP connection though, which tcpserver's name seems to indicate it doesn't support. Dan mentions netcat on the ucspi-tcp page, is that the current SOP for doing this?

Why not let logrotated handle your log rotation, daily if you so desire, and call qmailanalog from a postrotate block on maillog.2? We have a similar setup here, but we're rotating weekly. There's a little perl script that calls qmailanalog and sends its output to a dated file

Thanks, that appears to do the trick. I tried doing that with qmail-inject, and it didn't work. I surprised that I can't just modify the stream. I thought that was the whole point of program delivery. Doing it this way precludes checking the message with ezmlm-reject, but I suppose that's
