Re: [nmh-workers] logging outgoing messages

I agree with that, and even when ifdef's are added, they should be
positive, not double negative, so
      #ifndef NOSYSLOG
is just perferse,

Of course it is.  As I mentioned in my previous message...


      #ifdef  USE_SYSLOG
would work just as well (it does mean the name needs to be explicitly
defined to get the new code,

...I was just too lazy to do that for a proof of concept.  There's no
question that you're right if such a patch were to be added in production
while using #ifdef

No, you can't, but these days it almost always does.

That matches my experience.


Personally, I'd just suggest keeping the local MTA, having post deliver
to that, and let it do the logging

That's exactly what I've always done, from time immemorial until just
about two weeks ago.

Ironically enough I actually prefer to do it this way, but I was under the
impression that this is deprecated in modern configurations.  I'd be happy
to be wrong about that.
