That said, I know there are alternate syslog servers (rsyslog) that can filter based on regex for which a syslog_prefix is provided for in the present imapd.conf. I'm not much of a programmer, but I suspect a patch wouldn't be too difficult -- but I may be wrong! :-) I'll look. Thanks, and have fun frying those fish ;-) Forrest ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
