Hi,
my exim 4.12 has log_path /var/log/exim4/%slog compiled in, and I
would like to configure it to log to syslog as well. I am using the
packages from Debian experimental.
exim behaves strange when I try to modify the logging behavior. For
example, when I set log_file_path = :syslog (logging to default path,
and syslog), the majority of log messages is written to syslog only.
This is either a bug in the software, or a bug in the docs.
Having log_file_path = /var/log/exim4/%slog : syslog works fine
though.
Exims behavior is also a little funny, if the daemon is not restarted
after modifying the settings. In that case, the daemon seems to
continue to operate with the old settings (and the daemon seems to
write the reception log lines), while the childs doing the actual
delivery operate with the new settings, causing the delivery log lines
to end up in a different file than the reception log lines.
Greetings
Marc
