Is there any way to send qmail logs to a remote logs server? This remote server is running syslog-ng.

Thanks in advance.

hi there

there is no default way in qmail to do this, however here's a link to log qmail messages via syslog :

http://qmail.3va.net/qdp/splogger.html

you can then configure the local syslog to log the qmail related messages to the remote syslog-ng server.

Thanks very much,

I already have modified my file /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run at the following way:

SERVICE=smtp
. /var/qmail/bin/qmail-config-system && \
exec /usr/bin/softlimit ${SOFTLIMIT_OPTS} \
${QMAIL_TCPSERVER_PRE} \
/usr/bin/tcpserver ${TCPSERVER_OPTS} -x ${TCPSERVER_RULESCDB} \
-c ${MAXCONN} -u ${QMAILDUID} -g ${NOFILESGID} \
${TCPSERVER_HOST} ${TCPSERVER_PORT} \
${QMAIL_SMTP_PRE} /var/qmail/bin/qmail-${SERVICE}d ${QMAIL_SMTP_POST} \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &

Now I receive the log but also the following error:

@400000004835593a19e36354 tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used

Why could it be?

Thanks.

IMO this indicates another instance of qmail-stmpd is already running on port 25.

But it is imposible because it only happens when splogger is activated. In any case, I looked for another instance or other process running in port 25 in the list of processes and did not found anything.

¿Another idea please? Thanks.

This shows really nothing?

Code: Select all

netstat --listen -pn | grep 25

EDIT: spelling

#netstat --listen -pn | grep 25

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9754/tcpserver

Only one instance. And it only happens when the splogger is activated. Perhaps the problem comes over there. ¿Have I made good use of the command?

/var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &

Thanks.

Does it work without the final '&' ?

Yes, it was that. It works without '&'. I am stupid not to have tried before. Thanks very much for all.
