The core logwatch script sends the logfiles preprocessed to the service reporters on STDIN. Unfortunately, the error occurs in the phase where the logfile already has been parsed completly, so the line number reported is just the number of lines the script received. >> I >> would guess that it is either yet another format of IPv6 addresses that >> the IP-Address regex does not cover or a line that matches >> >> /remote host address is the local host/ >> >> but not >> >> /\@\[^>]+/ >> >> (lines 476-478) > I have a suspicion you're right. :-) > > To follow up completely, should I send you a copy of the exim log? That would be the easiest option, except for the possible privacy problems this might cause. In order to minimize the impact, you could encrypt it, though (you can verify the authenticity of my key via the debian-keyring package). Another option would be to just send me the lines matching the /remote host address is the local host/ regex, because they are probably enough to reproduce the problem. thanks Willi
