At work i use a Postfix mail server, running on Debian testing, to screen my Exchange 2003 server. Postfix, in it's zeal to log everything, shows me all log entries for when it rejects mail for mis-addressed users. And I get 10-12K+ messages a day, from spammers/viruses/bots, all addressed to random addresses at my domain. Needless to say, this makes my mail logs huge and unweildy. I'd like to syslog-ng to just ignore them and not log these multitudes of entries. I've tried reading through the documentation for syslog-ng, and I'm still lost. Can anybody help? I want to not log these: Jan 9 08:02:28 cliff-claven postfix/smtpd[21035]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from hst-141-208.union-net.net[85.239.141.208]: 554 5.7.1 <viray@contributionship.com>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied; from=<gusmanxoa@barcenas.net> to=<viray@contributionship.com> proto=SMTP helo=<barcenas.net> AFAICT, there's no way to tell postfix not to log something. There are ways to tell it to ignore certain headers, or make decisions based on entries in the body of the message, but these log entries don't fall under that. I'd want to continue to log all other mail messages; just don't want to see all these "NOQUEUE: reject" messages. And since the mail.log is automatically mailed to my Windows account for review, I'd like to avoid logging them at all, as opposed to a solution which ignores them while reviewing on a Linux platform. If there's a better way to do that, I'd love to hear it. Attachment:
