My postfix server is configured to receive email from authorized
non-local MUAs on port 587 using SASL PLAIN SMTP AUTH over TLS.
It is also configured to receive general inbound delivery on the
usual port 25.
The server is also running mailman (I host a mailing list). The
mailman daemons inject email locally via port 25.
I then started running postscreen. Mailwise everything continues
to work fine. postscreen doesn't even see the email the remote
MUAs submit over port 587 and the mailing list email is sent
normally.
The "problem" is now my logwatch reports are being flooded with
hundreds and hundreds of lines of:
** Unmatched Entries **
1 Aug 26 07:10:58 swing-shift postfix/postscreen[9743]: CONNECT from
[127.0.0.1]:52466 to [127.0.0.1]:25
1 Aug 26 01:16:41 swing-shift postfix/postscreen[8076]: CONNECT from
[127.0.0.1]:47711 to [127.0.0.1]:25
1 Aug 26 13:11:01 swing-shift postfix/postscreen[11765]: CONNECT from
[127.0.0.1]:57657 to [127.0.0.1]:25
1 Aug 26 05:46:44 swing-shift postfix/postscreen[8905]: CONNECT from
[127.0.0.1]:51279 to [127.0.0.1]:25
I know the real answer is to figure out how to modify the
relevant logwatch service script and/or to figure out how to get
mailmain to submit on 587.
But in the short term, is there any way to reduce postscreen's
logging level or do tell it not to log "uninteresting"
connections such as those from localhost?
