[syslog-ng]Sending mail to root?

[Amodiovalerio Verde]

Well, with that script you will receive a mail for each line in
stdin...that's a pain...

if you write a custum script you could manage things better....like sending
a mail with an alert and the number of times
it repeated...

I don't like to have my mailbox filled with the same message....

I'll post something in here as soon as I came back in office (
september )...

I'm on holiday now.
