Hello

is there any problem bewteen exim and logcheck?

in logcheck.logfiles i found a nasty
#/var/log/exim/mainlog

as i installed exim4 (debian 3.1) i removed the "#"
and got an hourly 1:1 of the mainlog file ;-)
(Lukly that were only some local system mails).

I could not find any other hints to "exim" in logcheck except in "cron".

Is exims not supported by exim, if why? If not, where could
i find an "ignore.server" file? (The exim log format seems not fit
to any other rules)
Or has exim an own logchecker? If what its name?
Or don't i have to logcheck mainlog at all, because that's all 
is syslog(?) too?


Google shows only that question serveral times, but nothing
that can be called "good answer".

Should i better user "postfix" if i want to avoid the dinosaurus sendmail?
