I run FBSD Unix, but imagine Linux setup is similar. Here's how I did it: 1) modify /etc/syslog.conf to add a facility, like so: # local2.* /var/log/spamd.log 2) touch a file /var/log/spamd.log 3) set up rotation in /etc/newsyslog.conf # /var/log/spamd.log 640 7 * @T00 B 4) restart syslogd 5) restart spamd with the above facility: # /usr/local/bin/spamd --syslog=local2 -u whoever -x -d -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid The above spamd flags are for my own needs, but you may need some different ones. See man spamd(1) for the flags.... --syslog=local2 could be shortened to -s local2 The facility "local2" depends on whether you have others local0 & local1 already used as I do. Otherwise, use local0. That ought to do it.... Disclaimer: there may be other ways. HTH. Happy trails, Jack L. Stone System Admin Sage-american
