[Logcheck-devel] Bug#316612: exim logs?

[Rainer Zocholl]

Package: logcheck   
Version: most current debian 3.1


Hello

(Why)Can't exim log file not be checked by logcheck?


In logcheck.logfiles i found a nasty

#/var/log/exim/mainlog

as i installed exim4 (debian 3.1) 
i removed the "#" and got an hourly 1:1 copy of the "mainlog" file ;-)
(Lukly that were only some few local system mails).

I could not find any other hints to "exim" in logcheck except in "cron".

Is exims not supported by exim, if why? 
If not, where could i find an "ignore.server" file? (The exim log 
format seems not fit to any other rules ).
Or has exim an own logchecker? If what its name?
Or don't i have to logcheck mainlog at all, because that's all
is syslog(?) too?


Google finds that question serveral times, 
but no "answer"/solution.
But exims is debian default MTA/MDA...
Is that a PCAK?
If what's wrong configured? (it's a default vebian)
