Hi, Running wheezy, fully up-to-date, with quite a busy postfix mail server, my syslog is filling up with multi-millions of mail messages. Whilst these are useful at times, they are obscuring other important stuff, and appear in /var/log/mail.log in any case.
So I thought I'd try to suppress these messages in syslog. Some googling and reading man (5) syslog.conf, I decided that the line *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog was the culprit, and changed it to *.*;auth,authpriv.none;!mail.* -/var/log/syslog Unfortunately, now nothing gets logged to syslog; I would at least expect the usual crop of iptables reports, unless the baddies have given up for christmas. Mail is still logged to mail.log, so that's OK. Can anyone please tell me the correct way to go about this, please?
