Rsyslog & var/log/messages full of logs

[slapper]

Hi to all this is my first post in Zimbra Forum !!!

I am using latest 7.1.3 zimbra 64bit in centos 6. By default Centos use rsyslogd for configure log activity to the system.
I notice that /var/log/messages is full logs which is the same with /var/log/zimbra-stats.log

i just disable this logs to var/log/messages by change the setting to /etc/rsyslog.conf

*.info;authpriv.none;cron.none;local1.none                /var/log/messages

I want to ask the community is it safe ?? have you seen something similar ??

My setup the same. And right now all stats logged twice. I tried ran syslogger, but no luck nothing not change.

Im having same problem, my /var/log/messages has duplicate messages
as zimbra.log and as maillog .
how can i disable this behavior ?

CentOS 6.2
Release 7.1.2_GA_3268.RHEL6_64_20110804131406 CentOS6_64 FOSS edition

i have made the change bellow to my rsyslogd.conf file

*.info;authpriv.none;cron.none;local1.none;mail.none;local0.none;auth.none;               /var/log/messages

It seems to work..

Moreover you will find that postfix logs activity in two files :
/var/log/maillog & /var/log/zimbra.log
its up to you which one you are going to use.

My setup :
Centos 6.1
Release 7.1.3_GA_3346.RHEL6_64_20110928134428 CentOS6_64 FOSS edition

comment this line is not what i want to do , that means
your serer will not log kernel info messages at all !!!
as a work around i did this

kern.info;authpriv.none;cron.none;local1.none;mail.none;local0.none;auth.none;

that seams fine now , as for duplicate maillog and zimbra.log this i dont mind
i just dont want all this garbage in the server messages log .
thanks for the reply
