Sndopr priority MTA option

Syslog MTA options:  (0-127)
The  MTA option sets    the syslog level (facility and severity) of syslog messages   generated by the MTA under certain circumstances, including most cases where the MTA would generate a syslog message for an "event notice" type purpose. In particular, MTA syslog messages affected by  include:



 problems creating or deleting message files 

 problems creating temporary files while buffering incoming SMTP messages 

 (new in 8.0)   mapping table problems renaming or copying a message file 

 an empty or otherwise invalid format message file is found in the MTA disk queue area 

 problems updating MTA message or association counters 

 problems executing the  utility 

 if  is set, problems  writing to the  MTA transaction log files 

 if  is set, certain cases of sidelining of messages as   files </li>

 if      if set to   or , and trouble occurs getting a result back from the  th spam/virus filter package </li>

 notices configured in the  mapping table or various access mapping tables that happen to support generating syslog notices via the   and   flags </li>

</ul>

The default is 5 (that is, LOG_NOTICE on UNIX). (If the facility has not been explicitly specified in a  setting, as is the case with a value of 5, then the system&#x27;s default facility is used: usually but not always LOG_USER.)

Note that  does not affect the  optional copying of MTA transaction entries to syslog, which would more typically be serving a normal logging purpose rather than an "event notice" type warning purpose; the syslog level of MTA transaction entries are instead separately controlled by the exact values of   or , as relevant.
