I don't want to cause unnecessary work/risk to your production systems. We might solve this problem without touching those.
The change I referenced actually changed how "program name" is parsed from incoming log messages to match the RFC, see the mailing list archives, sender "Tsurusawa Takeshi", Oct 22, 2007.
Can you confirm that the problem is related to the fact that syslog-ng recognizes "postfix" as the name of the program, whereas it earlier recognized "postfix/smtp"?
Yes.
You originally stated that you were bitten by a configuration file change. Did you mean that syslog-ng refused to start with the new configuration file, _or_ that it behaved differently?
Sorry, this must be a problem with my english, which is not my mother language. No. it just refused to log postfix/smtp But it MIGHT be, that some other logfiles weren't written to and I THINK that they were in syslog-ng.conf after the postfix/smtp statement. But after changing to "postfix" w/o smtp all behavior is as it used to be.
And furthermore, if it started but worked differently do you think this is caused by the change I outlined above? (e.g. program name is "postfix" instead of "postfix/smtp")
Yes, see above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
