I use Logwatch. Today's Exim section for a backup MTA contains
--- A01 : hosts spammers list = 5
--- A03 : Host name absent = 21
--- A04 : No Reverse DNS = 2
--- A13 : home Internet host name = 1
--- C09 : Senders domain invalid = 3
All the 'real' entries are displayed whilst all the standard crap is
summarised.
It is easy to modify the file in /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/exim
The advantage is beautiful Exim logs, so delightful to read and the
abolition of daunting, laborious, time consuming and difficult to read
reports for every server. When required the actual logs can easily be
search with a small BASH script using grep or with some easy-to-write
PHP routines.
Let the computer do the work for YOU !
