Anybody have any suggestions on how to better receive input from
users?  They can't post to the list, but emailing directly to me has
proved to be fairly unreliable...

Subject: proposed dovecot script change
To: [email protected]


With the logwatch shipped with fedora 11, I get gazillions
of these things in my logwatch reports:

 **Unmatched Entries**
   dovecot: deliver(tom): [email protected]: saved mail
to Spam: 1 Time(s)
   dovecot: deliver(tom):
msgid=<[email protected]>:
saved mail to INBOX.Fedora: 1 Time(s)
   dovecot: deliver(tom):
msgid=<[email protected]>: saved
mail to INBOX.Fedora: 1 Time(s)
...yadda yadda yadda....

I added this to /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/dovecot
(as the 1st elsif):

    } elsif ( $ThisLine =~ /deliver\(.+\): msgid.*saved mail to.*/) {
       # We don't care about these

I suppose it might be better to just squish out the unique msgid and
let it summarize the deliveries to each mailbox, but I decided
I didn't really want to see them at all.

P.S. The comment at the top of the script says:

########################################################
# Please send all comments, suggestions, bug reports,
#    etc, to [email protected]
########################################################

but all such mail is immediately rejected because mere mortals
aren't allowed to post to that list. Perhaps you should
also change the comment.
