Thanks Zdenek for your answer.
I know what you answered me, but in certain cases, using a text utility like
grep is not suitable. I think of this when you get a many hundreds of Mo
logfile at least, or when you need to track commands made by one peculiar
user in real-time.
That's why I thought that having a possibility to specify how log file(s)
should be handled by postmaster could be of great help.
I suggested an option to have one file per user, but one could think of having
one file per IP address connected to the server, and so on. The way samba log
files can be handled could be a good starting point, but I must admit that I
don't have the programming skills required to code any patch...
I hope that this answer will clarify my point of view.
