Hi,

I needed to get exim to log to syslog and I noticed this could not be done
with update-exim4.conf . So I patched it and like to share. Is this the way
to supply this ?

I added dc_log_file_path to the update-exim4.conf.conf . If this variable
is non-empty, an additional line is added in the autogenerated config file,
overriding any log_file_path already defined ( apparently it is always
defined ).

What needs to be put in the string can be found in the exim spec :
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-log_files.html

In my example, exim will log to the /var/log/exim4 logfiles and syslog .

Kindest regards,

Peter.
