Hi Marco. I think you can control that in Exim4 with the log_file_path
variable. By default, at least with debian, exim4 logs to all the
places you mentioned. The spec for exim4.5x from exim.org indicates you
can set it as follows:
LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog syslog only
LOG_FILE_PATH=:syslog syslog and default path
LOG_FILE_PATH=syslog : /usr/log/exim_%s syslog and specified
path
LOG_FILE_PATH=/usr/log/exim_%s specified path only
The spec also says this:
The value of LOG_FILE_PATH or log_file_path is a
colon-separated list, currently limited to at most two items. This is
one option where the facility for changing a list separator may
not be used. The list must always be colon-separated. If an item in the
list is "syslog" then syslog is used; otherwise the item must
either be an absolute path, containing %s at the point where "main",
"reject", or "panic" is to be inserted, or be empty, implying the use
of a default path.
This makes me think you'd want to use:
LOG_FILE_PATH=/var/log/exim4/%slog
Since I haven't actually tried this, I can't guarantee it will work like
I'm thinking it should.
Hope this is of some help.
Jason
