the log statement below works

the #log statement logs nothing

source src { unix-dgram("/var/run/log"); unix-dgram("/var/run/logpriv" perm(0640)); tcp(); udp(); internal(); file("/dev/klog"); };

### smtp postfix

filter f_mail { facility(mail); };

filter f_postfix {match (" postfix"); };

destination d_postfix { file("/var/log/$HOST/maillog"); };

log { source (src) ; filter (f_mail); filter(f_m_info); destination (d_postfix); };

#log { source (src) ; filter (f_mail); filter(f_m_info); filter (f_postfix); destination (d_postfix); };

Thanks Len

Sorry about previous msg's null subject and missing version syslog-ng -V syslog-ng 2.0.9 (from FreeBSD pkg, not ver 3 yet) I enabled the postfix, imap3d, sasl, pop3d logging by trimming the trailing/leading spaces of " string " in the filter definitions. huh? Len
