Which syslog facility.level is used for {tcp,udp}.log_in_vain messages?
I want to see these as a rule, especially now while tuning a new system
and firewall, but since running sendmail in earnest (even on our small
scale) there are times when poor old /var/log/messages is rapidly losing
much utility, being spammed by a) local resolver retries (lame servers
and such) and b) connection attempts beyond sendmail's (low) set limits.
These have been very useful for tuning the sendmail timeouts for a small
server to drastically reduce these, but I've seen enough for now ..
So I'd like to parse just log_in_vain messages, dumping the trivia to
another file yet allowing the unexpected, more interesting stuff to go
to /var/log/messages as usual, or to another file if that's a problem.
Any hints or howtos welcome, even RT(which?)FS ..
cheers, Ian (please cc me, I'm only subscribed to the -digest)
