Subject: [exim] Syslog date/time occurs twice
Hey there,
I noticed that exim is adding date/time stamp before sending to syslog.

It is ok for mainlog as it seems put by exim directly :

/2018-07-16 02:10:19 dovecot_login authenticator failed for
(example.net) [164.39.218.210]: 535 Incorrect authentication data
(set_id=postmaster)/

But it syslog there's syslog time/date stamp + exim date/time stamp :

/Jul 16 02:10:19 hostname exim[5734]: 2018-07-16 02:10:19 dovecot_login
authenticator failed for (example.net) [164.39.218.210]: 535 Incorrect
authentication data (set_id=postmaster)/

It's causing trouble for my fail2ban regex. Is there a way to disable
this date/time stamp ?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
