How to stop Zimbra from outputting log to /var/log/messages on SLES

[greenrenault]

Does anyone know how to stop Zimbra from outputting log to /var/log/messages on SLES / SUSE?

It makes the log unreadable and I'm not sure why this is even the case since /var/log/zimbra.log is sufficient for Zimbra logging.

Anyone found a solution to this one?

Change the filter f_messages in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.in

filter f_messages { not facility(news, mail) and not filter(f_iptables); };
to
filter f_messages { not facility(news, mail, local0,auth) and not filter(f_iptables); };

and rerun /sbin/SuSEconfig --module syslog-ng or whatever the equiv. is now.

Not sure if this will catch all of it but should be a start.
