Hello I can't seem to get syslog outputs from Postfix running on Solaris and FreeBSD servers to look the same. FreeBSD - Aug 5 11:14:43 69.67.254.17 postfix/smtp[80999]: 9FAA9EB760: to=<adams4@usadatanet.net>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1], delay=1, status=sent (250 2.6.0 Ok, id=81995-01, from MTA: 250 Ok: queued as E16ECEB7CD) This corresponds to $DATE $HOST $MESSAGE, yes the postfix/smtp[80999] which would be $PROGRAM is actually part of the $MESSAGE. Solaris - Aug 5 11:16:06 69.67.254.10 postfix/smtp[10111]: [ID 197553 mail.info] B3391B26D: to=<taptoes@usadatanet.net>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1], delay=2, status=sent (250 2.6.0 Ok, id=11585-10, from MTA: 250 Ok: queued as 9190DAE91) This corresponds to $DATE $PROGRAM $MESSAGE. Which is closer to what I would expect. My main problem is that Solaris stuffs the ID and facility.priority into the message itself. I've tried logging with defined message formats and that doesn't seem to help. So how can I gracefully removed the [ID xxxxxx Facility.Priority] from the message in the Solaris log lines?
