For example, to log all my mail events, i use the following lines... !pop3d *.info /var/log/maillog.log mail.* /var/log/maillog.log however, all pop3d (for example) messages still show up in /var/log/messages which looks like... *.info;mail.none;...... which is logging everything with a *.info or greater flag, but not anything with associated with the mail service. Is there a way to filter out application specific messages from a log? Another application (for me) would be the ability to seperate out ipfw logging to a seperate file without logging it to to the /var/log/messages... Ideas?
