In the next release of spamdyke, the configuration will be such that log messages will go to syslog (/var/log/maillog).

The release for this change is in the testing repo, but it requires a manual change to the spamdyke.conf file even with an updated package.

So in preparation for this, you can make this change whenever you like. Updating the packing from the repo isn't necessary at this time. Simply remove (or comment out) the
log-target=stderr
line in the spamdyke.conf file. The default setting is syslog, which will become effective immediately. You don't need to restart anything when changes are made to spamdyke's configuration.

I've found that having all the mail messages together in a single log file is really quite nice. This change is in preparation for implementing the ELK stack for log analysis, which might be available as soon as early next year. In the meantime, QMT services are being migrated to using syslog (stock) instead of multilog (daemontools).

Note, this does not apply to legacy (*-toaster) hosts (there is no spamdyke-toaster package).

Thanks.
