Yes, please close the bug. Apparently, thirteen years ago, I was in the spirit of opening many bugs to try and improve logcheck, however that is an immense task, one size *does not* fit all (such as invalid Message-Id), and I've grown accustomed to writing many personal rules. FWIW, I run logcheck on a dozen machines, have a large catalog of rules applied via ansible, and I find it immensely useful for 1) discovering daemon configuration problems, and 2) occasionally dealing with exotic brute force attempts. Peace of mind at the expense of adjusting rules after a dist-upgrade every few years. Keep up the good work =) -- Gerald Turner <gtur...@unzane.com> Encrypted mail preferred!
