Dear friends
Is there any update please, The Idea that I want to filter the logs that comes from the server 172.31.250.68 to send it by email, that's the purpose of this configuration I did.
(note) the path " /var/log/syslog-ng/servers/172.31.250.68/local7.log" is the path of the log file for this server in the my syslog-ng machine, I tried to add more options to the destination line like the following:
destination maillog { program("/usr/local/bin/syslog-mail-perl" flush_lines(1) flush_timeout(30));
};
But the problem still exist
Please if anyone have a solution for this Or any other solution or guide lines please tell me.

Thanks

Dear friends
I have a small problem with my syslog-ng server, I use a configuration to filter mail from log file and forwerd it to perl script to send it, the configuration like the following:
=====================================================
source sme {file (/var/log/syslog-ng/servers/172.31.250.68/local7.log); };

destination maillog { program ("/usr/local/bin/syslog-mail-perl" );
};
log {source(sme); destination(maillog); };
=====================================================

And the perl script like the following:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
#!/usr/bin/perl -n
# thanks to Brian Dowling for an example with security in mind.

$TO = 'reaky@domain.com';
$FROM = $TO;

s/^//;

open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -t");

print MAIL "EOT";
To: $TO
From: $FROM
Subject: SME Log Alert: $_

$_

EOT

close(MAIL);
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It worked very fine when I send to root user in the machine, But when I tried to send to outside I found that I must restart syslog every time to send the mails to sendmail, In another word it buffer the emails tell I restart syslog-ng then It forwerd it to send mail and can see it in the mail log.
Do you have any idea for that ?
Thanks
