Re: Logwatch Dovecot Deliver Summary

Dennis,

This is a diff file, which is applied with the patch command.

However, the change being really small, you could also do it with a text
editor

- Open /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/dovecot  with a text editor

- Look for the line starting with
    } elsif ( ($User, $Mailbox) = ( $ThisLine =~ /^$dovecottag
(?:lda|deliver)\((.*)\): msgid=.*: saved mail to (\S+)/ ) ) {

- Replace it with:
  } elsif ( ($User, $Mailbox) = ( $ThisLine =~ /^$dovecottag
(?:lda|deliver)\((.*)\):(.Info:)? msgid=.*: saved mail to (\S+)/ ) ) {

- Save.

- Test with "logwatch --output stdout --service dovecot" to see if it works.
You may need to tweak the regex. Perl regex syntax is essentially the
same as PHP. Your PHP knowledge will help.  

The reason  why the original regex fails is that the developer added the
word "Info:" before "msgid" in later versions of the 2.x series. The
proposed change allows this word as an option.

Regards,
Patrick
