Milter-greylist

I really like milter-greylist, except for one thing.
Is there a way to change the log file? I really do not want the
messages from milter-greylist showing up in the maillog file.

Patch the call to openlog() in milter-greylist.c and use a different
logging facility.

If you are ready to contribute a config-file option to control logging
destination, that would be great, of course.

Emmanuel, I'd like to log to a different log file too, like
"milter-greylist.log"

I gather below are the lines to modify, however I'm unsure of what to
replace "LOG_MAIL" with, being script-challenged and merely a user/admin.
Would you please advise further of how the lines should look to make the
change?

        if (conf.c_nodetach != 0)    
                openlog("milter-greylist", LOG_PERROR, LOG_MAIL);
        else
                openlog("milter-greylist", 0, LOG_MAIL);

Thanks!
Jack

Change LOG_MAIL to LOG_LOCAL0 in both lines. Recompile milter-greylist
and restart it. Add a line like:

  local0.debug	/var/log/milter-greylist.log
              ^^ this is a TAB, *not* spaces

to /etc/syslog.conf, and send the syslog daemon (syslogd) a HUP signal.

See the syslog man page for alternatives to LOG_LOCAL0 and general
information about syslog.

s/LOG_MAIl/LOG_LOCAL0/

Then edit syslog.conf to redirect local0.* to milter-greylist.log,
and signal syslogd.

There are also local1, local2 ... local7
