Last modified: 2010-10-22 01:56:14 EDT
Description of problem: logwatch prints out too much stuff from postfix Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): logwatch-5.2.2-1.EL4.1 postfix-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. switch mta to postfix 2. run logwatch 3. Actual results: see attached. Too much unfiltered, but operationally normal postfix log data Expected results: logwatch suppresses what is displayed as unmatched Additional info:
Created attachment 135567 [details] Sample postfix logwatch output with too much postfix log data
We are also seeing some logwatch postfix noise under RHEL 4 with lines like this: statistics: start interval Nov 21 00:00:02 statistics: domain lookup hits=0 miss=1 success=0% statistics: address lookup hits=0 miss=1 success=0% statistics: max simultaneous domains=1 addresses=1 connection=1 and certificate verification failed for firewall.example.com: num=18:self signed certificate Server certificate could not be verified The certificate warnings get very noisy on a busy postfix install which sends a significant number of messages to machines with self signed certificates.
Ivana, these problems have been resolved in the latest postfix filter, included with logwatch 7.3.4.
Putting on the proposed list.
