Hi list, after upgrading to 6.5.6 I've noticed that syslog messages include the timestamp. Since I'm starting fetchmail thru systemd, the timestamp is already included in journal. Is it possible to remove timestamp from syslog message ? Here is my uname -a : Linux agmob3 6.16.12-100.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Oct 12 18:44:08 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux Thanks in advance for any answer. Ciao Angelo |

I am not seeing that, though I am not using systemd. I do start fetchmail from the command line with the --syslog option. FWIW. ax |

Probably related to this * fetchmail, with --logfile, now logs time stamps
into the file, in localtime
and in the format "Jun 20 23:45:01 fetchmail: ". It will be localized
through
the environment variables LC_TIME (or LC_ALL) and TZ.

I think it is for the benefit of IMAP IDLE.
In that mode fetchmail keeps an open connection to the server
and logs whenever the server offers/pushes a new messages.
IMAP IDLE saves fetchmail from starting a new connection (including
setting up encryption) every few minutes and allows it to be completely
idle until there is a new message.
It doesn't support more than one remote mailbox
(unless you set up separate fetchmail processes with separate configs).

Angelo, you can either put --syslog on your fetchmail command lines in the fetchmail.service unit files, or you can add set syslog early (before skip and poll lines) to your various .fetchmailrc files. In that case, fetchmail will send directly to syslog without timestamps, and on systemd-based systems, syslog also usually ends up where journalctl looks. HTH Best regards, Matthias |
