Having replaced exim with qmail yesterday, I'd like to deal with the loggin issues, since qmail's logging is quite verbose. I notice that it logs seemingly identical information to all of the:
/var/log/syslog /var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.log and it logs identical error messages to both: /var/log/mail.warn /var/log/mail.err I find this to be a bit excessive. A look at /etc/init.d/qmail shows three options of handling the logging, the default one being the one that produces all this stuff. What are you guys using to keep the mail logs sane? Also, one of the options offers to pipe the logging info through `accustamp' program. I cannot find in which package the program is. A google search reveals that it comes as part of `qmailanalog' package, but it seems that this one is not available as a deb or a deb-src package (correct me if I'm wrong). p.s. Why is the default configuration of a newly-installed qmail (from package) TOTALLY EMPTY? Not even a "me" file: qmail-send refuses to start without it. Also, anyone know why the auto-configuration scripts that come with qmail distribution are excluded from the package? They are referenced to all over the documentation... Thanks for any input, -- Arcady Genkin Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
