Hi, I am assuming the lack of replies is due to the fact that I was not clear enough in my questioning. So I will try to rephrase my question.
I run opbsd 4.2 on a i386 machine. I am trying to analyse the spamd log file (I changed syslog.conf so that it will send logging information only to /var/log/spamd). I use the option "-v" in rc.conf.local for spamd_flags. During the analysis (which I am trying to do using a perl script), I was faced with messages like last message repeated X times. In order to be acurate in my log analysis, I need to understand exacly what these messages mean. Specially when they show just after a message like: .... disconnected after Y seconds. lists: Z These messages carry basically (with respect to my analysis) four bits of information: date and time; IP address; duration of the connection; blacklists. What I want to know is what exacly was repeated from the last message. All of last three bits of information (not including date and time)? Or is there some kind of generalization going on here? Secondly, I would like to know if there some way of disabling this kind of summarization by syslogd. I would appreciate some comments or suggestions about dealing with this situation.
