Hello developers!
I want to ask for a feature many people would need in near future:
PROBLEM:
I have to implement some kind of logging to fulfil the law about data
retention beginning on 01.01.2009. I could code a solution which pharses the
mainlog using regexp. This has some disadvantages:
- Problems with log rotating
- the regexp must be tested very well to log any mail incoming/outgoing - no
matter how the log line looks like. but it should not log other lines to
save disk space. That will be hard.
IDEA:
Extend/Implement a logging engine where someone can define:
* multiple logfiles which include...
* different log levels / different events which are logged
This way I could have a normal mainlog/rejectlog PLUS an adiddional logfile
which only contains the data needed for data retention.
There are also other things this could be useful for:
* Virtual hosting: a logfile for each domain e.g.
* a verbose debug log which could be turned on by simply uncommenting some
config lines
* ...
Is someone interested in implementing it? I cannot code it because I do not
have the time to start digging in the exim code.
But I CAN help with testing and documentation.
Greetings, yours
