I strongly suspect this is a bug I've already fixed in the next version:
sometimes on 64-bit Linux systems, vsyslog() won't print all of the arguments
its given and inserts control characters instead. Usually it inserts the null
character (which ends the string) but yours seems to be inserting lots of other
junk as well. If you could run spamdyke with the "log-target" option set to
"stderr", the problem would likely go away.
It doesn't seem to cause any problems with spamdyke's operation, it just
doesn't print complete log messages.
You can try fixing it yourself, if you'd like. In version 4.3.1, edit log.c
and go down to line 506. You should see this:
vsyslog(syslog_level, format, tmp_va);
Replace it with these two lines:
vsnprintf(tmp_data, MAX_BUF, format, tmp_va);
syslog(syslog_level, "%s", tmp_data);
Recompile it with "make" and replace the spamdyke binary with the new one.
That should do it!
