qmail is actually using syslog? Color me surprised! :)
I'm reassigning this bug report to qmail, since qmail-src already comes
with a sample logcheck ruleset, albeit in /usr/share/doc. (See #271118
for an explanation.) Hence it was removed from logcheck-database many
years ago.
The general consensus is that package maintainers can do a far better
job at managing logcheck rules, since they actually have a clue about
how their programs behave, whereas logcheck-database people can only try
and poke the beast with pointy sticks until it stops moving.
Jon, don't hesitate to let us know if we can be of any help in this
matter. (And FYI, you only need to install as root:root 0640 or 0644.)
