[Mimedefang] Where does mimedefang log to?

[Jobst Schmalenbach]

All,

I just installed MimeDefang and its running.

However, I do not know whether its actaully working, I do not
see any log messages ...

The only thing I know is

  Mar 19 18:26:28 piquet mimedefang-multiplexor: Starting slave 0 (pid 13694) (1 running): Bringing slaves up to minSlaves (2)
  Mar 19 18:26:28 piquet mimedefang[13708]: Multiplexor alive - entering main loop
  Mar 19 18:26:31 piquet mimedefang-multiplexor: Starting slave 1 (pid 13716) (2 running): Bringing slaves up to minSlaves (2)

and I can see 

  040 S defang   13713 13712  0  82   0    -   928 rt_sig 18:26 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mimedefang -P /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid -m /var/spool/
  040 S defang   13712 13708  0  75   0    -   928 schedu 18:26 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mimedefang -P /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid -m /var/spool/
  040 S defang   13708     1  0  75   0    -   928 schedu 18:26 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mimedefang -P /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.pid -m /var/spool/
  040 S defang   13693     1  0  75   0    -   368 schedu 18:26 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/mimedefang-multiplexor -p /var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multip
  000 S defang   13716 13693  0  85   0    -  5246 pipe_w 18:26 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl -server
  000 S defang   13694 13693  0  85   0    -  5246 pipe_w 18:26 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/mimedefang.pl -server

but yet I dont know whether its actually reading mail and whats it doing with it.

in /etc/sysconfig/mimedefamg I have

LOG_FILTER_TIME=yes
MX_USER=defang
# KEEP_FAILED_DIRECTORIES=no
# MX_RELAY_CHECK=no
# MX_SENDER_CHECK=no
# MX_RECIPIENT_CHECK=no
MX_LOG=yes
# MX_EMBED_PERL=yes
SYSLOG_FACILITY=mail
# MX_SLAVE_DELAY=3
# MX_MIN_SLAVE_DELAY=0
MX_STATS=yes
MX_FLUSH_STATS=no
MX_STATS_SYSLOG=no
# MX_SOCKET=/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock
# MX_REQUESTS=200
MX_MINIMUM=2



The only thing I found abu this was in the wxamples/redhat-logrotate-file:

  If you log statistics to /var/log/mimedefang/stats, you want to rotate
  the log file.  You can copy redhat-logrotate-file to
  /etc/logrotate.d/mimedefang on Red Hat Linux systems.


So I really dont know whether mimedefang is doing anything.
