Hello All,
I am running postfix (apple version) with MAC OSX10.4.11 client. I
found the following entries in the "Console/501/console.log". I am
concerned but do not know what it means. The var/log/mail.log does
not show any errors and seem to be sending/receiving mail without
problem. Below is the output of postconf -n. I would be grateful if
anyone could:
a. Tell me what the console.log means
b. Should I be concerened and what should I do about it
c. Are there any vulnerabilities in my configuration and what steps I
can take to correct them
Thanks in advance
Rups
