Default spamd logging question

I am using OpenBSD spamd on all my 3 smtp gateways.

I am using the default settings

Code:
$ cat /etc/rc.conf |grep spamd                                                 
spamd_flags=""          # for normal use: "" and see spamd-setup(8)
spamd_black=NO          # set to YES to run spamd without greylisting
My question:
I have this entry in /etc/syslog (3 tabs from info to /var)
Code:
!spamd
daemon.err;daemon.warn;daemon.info                      /var/log/spamd
spamd still logs to both /var/log/daemon and /var/log/spamd.

thx
rk

Found solution
missing a !
Code:
man syslog.conf 5

EXAMPLES
     A configuration file might appear as follows:

     # Log info (and higher) messages from spamd only to
     # a dedicated file, discarding debug messages.
     # Matching messages abort evaluation of further rules.
     A configuration file might appear as follows:

     # Log info (and higher) messages from spamd only to
     # a dedicated file, discarding debug messages.
     # Matching messages abort evaluation of further rules.
     !!spamd
     daemon.info                                             /var/log/spamd
Edit..
Nope, still logging to both ..(:

You might post your question to the misc@ mailing list. There are only a small number of people who regularly answer OpenBSD-related questions here.

Take a look in the sort order, make shure to set the log for spamd before standart logging.

Quote:
!!prog causes the subsequent block to abort evaluation when a message
matches, ensuring that only a single set of actions is taken.
for example:
Code:
#   $Id: syslog.conf,v 1.1 2007/11/25 20:21:09 root Exp $

!!spamd
daemon.err;daemon.warn;daemon.info                      /var/log/spamd

*.notice;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail,user.none /var/log/messages
kern.debug;syslog,user.info                             /var/log/messages
auth.info                                               /var/log/authlog

Did you send a HUP signal to syslogd? Only then will syslog reread the modified syslog.conf configuration file.
Code:
# pkill -HUP syslogd
Sometimes you also need to create an empty log file
Code:
# touch /var/log/spamd

Sorry..
Life got in the way.. (broken water line under the floor at my rent house.. )

ohauer -- I think I tried that but it then blocked *all* logging to
/var/log/daemon

J65nko... Yes Sir.. but I will try it again to make sure..
I also did create the the log file.. and have added it to
newsyslog..

jggimi -- I have noticed this is a FreeBSD dominated forum..
misc@ scares me..

much thank
rk

It shouldn't scare you if you post a concise, polite question, with detailed information, that shows you've done what homework you can.

In this case, you are having trouble understanding various syslog man pages. All you really need is a pointer to some additional help, and that is how you should phrase your question.

No one will get angry if you ask for assistance to help you figure out what it is you do not yet know, and, as you have done here already, post:
Your configuration
Your symptoms
Things you've tried that haven't worked
You may get no response, but more likely, pointers to additional documentation.

Those who get angry responses either haven't done their homework, or who post a "it's broke, fix it for me" message. Sometimes these are combined.

If you're still scared, and want to try a kinder, gentler, more newbie-friendly mailing list that has a relatively large numbers of readers, try the openbsd-newbies list. It is unofficial, sign up for it at www.sfobug.org, the San Fransisco OpenBSD Users Group website.

use
Code:
!!spamd
daemon.info                      /var/log/spamd
!*

...
as the example says in syslog.conf(5) :-)

This is largely reflective of the market share differences between FreeBSD & OpenBSD, ie.
