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.
