What's maillog file used for?
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 1:47 pm
Hi there,
I have a bit of a problem with maillog file, since it grows rapidly, and the partition for 'var' on this Debian distro (squeeze 6.something, I think) is predicted to be less than 3GB.
I was wondering what exact data OpenEMM pulls from this file, since it is needed to grant read access during installation to this file? Is it used for statistics or something else?
I'm also asking this because I'm in need to periodically empty this file, because the partition becomes full, and then the app blocks, database blocks, everything fails...
Some advice would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
