[Logcheck-devel] Bug#317772: logcheck: please add rule to filter messages for mailman list admins
Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.40
Severity: wishlist
Hi Folks, thanks for your work maintaining the logcheck package - it
works very well indeed. I run a couple of light-traffic mailing
lists, but get a lot of spam. I was getting "Security Events"
messages from logcheck whenever a message arrived that needed admin
attention (like a post from someone who's not subscribed). They
looked like:
Jul 6 11:24:27 phoenix postfix/local[30050]: AD387C42EF: to=<xksc-admin at
caboteria.org>, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent (delivered to command:
/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin xksc)
I think they happen because of the word "admin" in the message, so I
added a line to /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/logcheck-postfix to
screen them out:
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ postfix/local\[[0-9]+\]:
[[:upper:][:digit:]]+: to=<[^[:space:]]+>,(
orig_to=<[^[:space:]]+>,)* relay=local, delay=[0-9]+, status=sent
\(delivered to command: /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin [._[:alnum:]-]+\)$
I'm not sure if this is the correct file but it seems to work.
Thanks,
Toby
