[syslog-ng] Emailing log events

[Paul Robert Marino]

I may have somethig else for you if you wait a few days. I wrote a a 
pure perl daemon a few years back called syslog-mailer I created a 
source forge site but I never posted it. A few weeks ago I started doing 
some updates to it and I intend to post it thes week. It works very well 
its designed to work with syslog-ng and has an xml config that supports 
using a rudimentry message rewrite engine, wiith message grouping that 
allows you to specify the maximum amount of lies per email and the 
maximum amount of time to wait before flushing an message type to email. 
I'll notify the list as soon as I post it. The original idae behind it 
was to use syslog-ng with this daemon to create a very light wait email 
alerting engine
