Hi, I am setting up a syslog server. Does anyone know how to forward exim_mainlog to a remote syslog server ? Regards MJ

  You need to customize the exim configuration for this. Read more from Exim Specification - 51. Log files

  Thanks guys I figured it :) In case if anyone wondering how to do it just add the line below in the top section of /etc/exim.conf or update the config settings via exim advanced configuration editor. log_file_path = :syslog The above config will log messages both locally and to your syslog server. Regards Mj

  I am happy to see you were able to address the issue. Note it's important to use the "Advanced Editor" in "WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager" when editing the Exim configuration to ensure the changes are preserved. Thank you.
