hey Harm,

Here's the run file for the log -

exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t s2500000 n 10 /var/log/qmail/smtpd

and yeah- i figured that i'm pushing to stdout... which i expect the log/run should catch via the multilog. therefore i'm a bit confused as to how it's still getting into the smtp conversation. :)

Hi James,

You are copying stderr (file descriptor 2) to your stdout (that's what the terminating 2>&1 is for). However, this log is only saved if multilog is indeed catching it.

Find in the directory where this `run' file was located the directory `log', and publish the content of the `run' file in that directory...

You are supposed to redirect stdout and stderr to another location. Either to /dev/null or
to logfiles.
Hmm - makes sense. This is how i'm running it, and not sure why i'm getting logs in the smtp conversation:
env CHKUSER_START=DOMAIN \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -vHR -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
   -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp \
   /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd \
       -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd /var/qmail/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/ true 2>&1
since it's running under supervise, and is logged...
