Hi,

I'm having a problem with postfix logs sent across the network through to syslog-ng which in turn pipes output through to a mysql server using the following directive: destination d_mysql pipe("/tmp/mysql.pipe" template("INSERT INTO syslogs (host, facilit etc etc...
The output from postfix has the 'to' and 'from' address dropped: [snip] postfix/smtp[30704]: 157A6703B8: to=, relay=mail.domain.com.... [end snip]
It should look like this: [snip] postfix/smtp[30704]: 157A6703B8: to=<user@domain.com>, relay=mail.domain.com.... [end snip]
I'm guessing it's something to do with the '<' & '>' characters.
I'll have to go through the source to see where it's going wrong, but was hoping that someone else out there had any similar sorts of problems and advice on how to fix.
the '<' and '>' characters should not cause problems like this as the whole message is read until a '\n' is encountered and '<>' is interpreted at the beginning of the line only. try strace-ing syslog-ng to see what it exactly receives from postfix.
