Thanks. I was clearly in mode! Apologies all! I went and read more of the documentation on syslog-ng after sending that and was happy that the syslog-ng.conf was only allowing information to it from the server through local sockets as you say. What I need now is a pointer to an introduction to UNIX sockets and to how I work out why my server is suddenly exceeding the syslog-ng connection limit. I think it was about a slightly higher than usual rate of activity in postfix but I'm not sure as I'm surprised it could have triggered that. I think if I got my head around syslog- ng.conf rather better and set up routes and filters that really made more sense of the logged data, I'd be in a better position to understand all this. Does anyone have a conf file they'd share with me? Ideally for a single server with SMTP, POP3, SSH, NTP, APCUPSD and very little else, though I guess more complex set ups would be even more informative.
