Currently, every time haproxy checks if postfix is still alive, e.g.
on port 587, I see this in my logging:
Jan 28 13:13:20 albus submission/smtpd[97331]: warning: haproxy
read: EOF
Jan 28 13:13:20 albus submission/smtpd[97331]: connect from
unknown[unknown]
Jan 28 13:13:20 albus submission/smtpd[97331]: disconnect from
unknown[unknown] commands=0/0
I just tell rsyslog to ignore those lines so they don't get logged.
if $programname == "postfix" and $msg startswith "warning: haproxy
read: " then stop
if $programname == "postfix" and $msg contains " from
unknown[unknown]" then stop
if $programname == "postfix" and $msg contains " from
proxy.example.com[" then stop
Assuming my OS has 'rsyslog'...
Well, you CAN install it... MacPorts has a port, and it works at least
through El Capitan. That is not a recommendation. I use it to catch
network logging, but only because it was simpler than an alternative OS.
I am using postfix logging (because macOS logging is a complete
disaster)
Yes, it is.
Postfix will not filter your logs for you. It logs what it logs,
including all connections. If you don't want to see those in your logs,
you can choose not to look at them. I suppose you could *probably*
point Postfix logging at a named pipe and stand up something to drain
that pipe and filter it into a real file, but that would be ugly.
