  • shortening dsn text in logs

    From None@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 3 14:39:54 2022
    I was wondering if I can shortening the error messages, but keep the
    error codes in the logs eg.

    sendmail[19814]: ruleset=check_relay, arg1=[46.165.253.92],
    arg2=46.165.253.92, relay=mail.gryazovets.com [46.165.253.92] (may be
    forged), reject=451 4.1.8 Possibly forged hostname for 46.165.253.92

    to

    sendmail[19814]: ruleset=check_relay, arg1=[46.165.253.92],
    arg2=46.165.253.92, relay=mail.gryazovets.com [46.165.253.92] (may be
    forged), reject=451 4.1.8

    You have to change the source code to do that. If you want to save
    a few bytes, wouldn't it make sense not to log other things (e.g.,
    argx=...)?

    is too lazy to trim his article, and it's wasting the time of all readers.

    I am going to start using more informative dsn replies with quite some
    text, no need to have this constantly logged. Just a waste of energy.

    I have no idea what argx= is doing. However I would like to know/log
    what error codes are being reported back.
