The "from" address is "logcheck system account".
Terminology and naming
- filters, patterns and rules The logcheck documentation uses "filter", "pattern" and "rule" interchangeably, applying them to directories, files and individual regular expressions.
...
- On this WIKI page, only "filter" is used. It is used only to mean a single filter (a line in a file). On this page, a file of filters is called a "filter file".
...
- server and workstation are filtering levels, not computer roles. From README.logcheck:
- "ignore.d.server; as the name implies, this is intended to cut out the routine messages ..."
"ignore.d.workstation. "... is only appropriate for relatively sheltered, non-critical machines"
- Filter file names The filter file for generic messages is called "logcheck". The rest of the filter files are named after a Debian package and contain filters for messages generated by software in the package.
