Hi,

I get these messages in my /var/log/boot.log ( local use 7 ):

Mar  2 12:36:18 bob MailScanner:  succeeded
Mar  2 12:40:02 bob last message repeated 5 times
Mar  2 12:45:03 bob last message repeated 3 times
Mar  2 12:50:02 bob last message repeated 3 times
Mar  2 12:55:03 bob last message repeated 3 times
Mar  2 13:00:03 bob last message repeated 3 times
Mar  2 13:05:02 bob last message repeated 3 times

Is it possible to change this to another syslog facility?

In MailScanner.conf I have:

	Syslog Facility = local0

to keep MailScanner messages separate from sendmail messages but it still places these 
messages in the boot.log.

TIA for any assistance

Ian
