for some reason qmail spreads things out into 3 or 4 or 5 different |
| 19 |
log files, one for sent, smtp, pop, imap etc, its a real pain to go |
| 20 |
through those files, i dont know if its qmail or syslog-ng thats doing |
| 21 |
it, but ive been wanting to find a way to combine all those logs into |
| 22 |
one mail.log file for easy grepping..... |
| 23 |
thanks for the input. |
