<TT>> I couldn't find this rule anywhere, however I've added the following</TT><BR>
<TT>> rule to CVS which matches the log message you gave:</TT><BR>
><BR>
<TT>> ^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ courierpop3login: (TIMEOUT|</TT><BR>
<TT>> DISCONNECTED), user=[-_.@[:alnum:]]+, ip=\[[.:[:alnum:]]+\],</TT><BR>
<TT>> top=[[:digit:]]+, retr=[[:digit:]]+, time=[[:digit:]]+$</TT><BR>
><BR>
<TT>> Thanks for your report,</TT><BR>
<BR>
i figuered out the reason why you have not found the rule i mentioned. the rule i mentioned is from a file named 'courier-pop' and this file gets installed with the 'courier-pop' package (didn't know that)!<BR>
<BR>
FILE PACKAGE<BR>
<BR>
etc/init.d/courier-pop mail/courier-pop<BR>
etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/courier-pop                  mail/courier-pop<BR>
etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/courier-pop                  mail/courier-pop<BR>
<BR>
i am not that sophiticated with logcheck philosophy. but i think alle rule files for logcheck should be centralized under the control of the logcheck team. does every application provide it's own rule files?<BR>
<BR>
that strange and confusing. should i open a bug against 'courier-pop' for the wrong pattern? do i have to check every rule file if it's under the control of the logcheck team or if it's a rule file provided by another package?
