#26 Unmatched Entries in case of a distribution list
Under Postfix, the following is displayed when an email is sent to a distribution list:
Unmatched Entries
1 Jan 18 21:24:00 hostname1 postfix/cleanup[104719]: 8ED63CEB33C1: to=address@domain.tld, relay=none, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=deliverable (aliased to multiple recipients)
In my opinion, it is not necessary to display this under unmatched entries.
I believe this was corrected in Logwatch version 7.14. Can you confirm?
I haven't installed Logwatch 7.14 anywhere yet, but I can't find the postfix file in the 7.14 tarball with the text "aliased to multiple recipients".
I can't imagine that this message will no longer appear under Unmatched Entries, but I'll certainly test it.
The script does not look for that string specifically. On line 4164, it takes in the text after "status=", and puts it in a hash indexed to the "$reason" if the status is "deliverable".
So try version 7.14.
OK, thanks. I installed version 7.14 on my mail server and sent an email to a distribution list, but I can't find any record of it in the system logs.
I have now also installed version 7.14 on the customer’s server where I discovered this “unmatched” message, and I’m checking to see if it now appears correctly in the watch log or no longer as “unmatched.” However, emails aren’t sent that often to distribution lists.
