Attached is a patch (diff -u) for MessageLogger.py to maintain a concise
logfile (3 lines per message instead of 6), in addition to the usual
more verbose one.
Background: I typically leave a window open on my mail server, doing a
tail -f on my procmail log, which produces 3-4 lines per incoming
message. (This is largely because my IMAP clients can't tell when a new
message gets filtered into an arbitrary folder.) With TMDA, I don't want
to watch the procmail log directly (then I still see the spam coming
in), or the usual incoming log (ditto, plus it's more verbose). So I
put together this hack to give me a concise log, so I could finally
attain the Enjoy A "Milk Bone" In A Spam-Free World Phase.
I did not add a new configuration variable; instead, the concise logfile
has the same name as the usual logfile plus ".concise"; if it doesn't
exist, it will not be created. If you think the concise logfile is
useful enough to roll into the main codebase, I can go ahead and add the
config var for it.
An entry in the concise logfile looks something like:
From: Foo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Dest
Subject: Concise Logfiles
When the action is OK, Dest is "Inbox"; when it's DELIVER, Dest is where
the message was delivered (e.g., an mbox). The From: address omits
extensions, for readability (it can't know whether the sender uses + or
-, so it accepts both; this will be fine 99% of the time).
Please CC: me on replies (if any :-), since I'm not on this list--though
I will check the archive tomorrow night in case.
(IANAL note: patch is under the GPL, of course.)
