/var/log/zimbra.log is empty: why?

I'll add this to the Suse 10 build - thanks for finding this!
(Had to go to the man page, huh?)

No, I do not like man pages
Google did the trick!

Here's the change I've made to the installer - this will be added to syslog-ng.conf.in:
filter f_local0 { facility(local0); }; # zimbra

destination zmail { file("/var/log/zimbra.log"); }; # zimbra

log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(zmail); }; # zimbra

destination local0 { file("/var/log/zimbra.log"); }; # zimbra

log { source(src); filter(f_local0); destination(local0); }; # zimbra
NOTE - this is all additive (don't modify existing mail entry.) Also, the local0 filter is important - otherwise, you end up with duplicate lines for every mail facility item logger.

Will change my lines accordingly.

Keep the #zimbra at the end of the line - on reinstall/upgrade, I grep -v zimbra on the file, then re-add the stuff - so if you add the zimbra comment, you'll be happy for upgrade time...

Don't forget to modify the logrotate.d scripts too!!!
