Hello, no, destinations are local files: destination mailinfo { file("/var/log/mail.info"); }; destination mailwarn { file("/var/log/mail.warn"); }; destination mailerr { file("/var/log/mail.err" fsync(yes)); }; destination mail { file("/var/log/mail"); }; Messages in the fifo should be dropped, thats right. Maybe the release comes from the simple restart of syslog-ng (cleaning up garbage?). It's confusing. ----- Original Message ---- From: Victor Duchovni <Victor.DuchovniMorganStanley.com> To: Andreas Grimm <grimm.andreasyahoo.com> Cc: postfix-userspostfix.org Sent: Thursday, November 1, 2007 5:52:11 PM Subject: Re: New document: STRESS_README On Thu, Nov 01, 2007 at 09:37:25AM -0700, Andreas Grimm wrote: > You're right. max_connections makes sense only to unix-stream.

Mine all go to local files, and I've had no need for log_fifo_size, which seems to be applicable to forwarding to other syslog-ng servers over TCP. Are you forwarding log entries to a remote server via TCP? On mail servers I only log to local files (rotated hourly) and collect these out of band (after local compression). I thought that output queue overflow leads to dropped messages, not blocking, but I could be wrong about that. Are you sure that a lower value causes performance issues rather than perhaps lost messages? -- Viktor. Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
