(Remember, the first part of Culture is Cult!) For my part, i've usually dealt with the One True Config File, so Exim's format kind of hurt my brain for a while. I'm using a central, stripped-down host for logging Everything, to which clients fire off their messages via stunnel without losing their local logging, central host stuffs in database, database gets backed up permanently, searching cache for recent stuff gets trimmed daily. I can't really see any good way to do this without syslog :D. >There are items on Exim's Wish List that are concerned with logging, in >particular to give more control.
