I have a daemon running, milter-regex that is absolutely polluting my /var/log/debug file. After some digging around I thought by adding the "daemon.err;daemon.notice /var/log/milter-regex" that that would stop the milter-regex stuff from going into /var/log/debug. But that didn't work. What am I missing?
My /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf file:
#
# Some "catch-all" log files.
#
*.=debug;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
daemon.err;daemon.notice /var/log/milter-regex
#
# NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a reasonably
# busy site..
#
daemon.*;mail.*;\
news.err;\
*.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole

Just for extra safety, add daemon.none to avoid daemon messages going to debug
That'll also stop any other daemon messages getting to your debug log though.
Also I don't think you want to send all
daemon.err
anddaemon.notice
to a milter-regex explicit file.If I were you I would try to look at milter-regex to either send messsages through
mail.*
(it's related to mail after all) or just to write itself to a log file
