Description of problem: It looks to me as if logwatch wouldn't show any usable sendmail section as it does for postfix. AFAIK this was in past case - why not now any longer? --------------------- sendmail Begin ------------------------ SMTP SESSION, MESSAGE, OR RECIPIENT ERRORS ------------------------------------------ WARNING!!!! Possible Attack: Attempt from [116.8.193.220] with: command=HELO/EHLO, count=3: 6 Time(s) Total: 6 Time(s) ---------------------- sendmail End ------------------------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): logwatch-7.3.6-20 How reproducible: Everytime, run sendmail and logwatch. No or no real logwatch information. Expected results: Nice sendmail section such as postfix has and as it was case in the past.
It is better to report this kind of problem to upstream maintainers - they should decide what is the best structure of sendmail output of logwatch. Please could you report this bug to upstream: http://www2.logwatch.org:81/ If there is any problem please write here a comment.
Well...in the past there was more output in logwatch than above. This looks like a regression to me. Is it possible, that sendmail in logwatch was maybe disabled or similar? Is it possible, that the default configuration of sendmail in logwatch got maybe worse?
I'm currently seeing this as downstream problem first, because I think, it's just a default configuration issue or friends.
Well, I had a more detailed look into this. What I'm maybe looking for is to set "Detail = 3" in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/sendmail.conf - AFAIK something like this was default in the past. But wait until changing defaults, I will try to figure that out soon.
There is no sendmail script/ configuration patch in rawhide branch so for now the current state is upstream solution. But I'm not sure I understand this bug report absolutely - so if you don't agree with my resolution, please reopen this bug and write me more detailed description please.
Can we apply the following patch or something better to logwatch so that if sendmail is in use, there's something in logwatch as well? --- /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/sendmail.conf +++ /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/sendmail.conf.rsc @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ # logwatch Detail setting. # # Example: -#Detail = 5 +Detail = 3 # # The defined values of Detail are as follows: # Detail >= 0: Will print:";
Changed in logwatch-7.3.6-22.fc10.
logwatch-7.4.0-23.20130102svn127.fc19 reverts this behaviour - is this intended?
