No - not directly - what do you have in mind - and what do you want to achieve?

Hi Stoiko,

Thank you for your answer. I want to write log to custom file when an email is blocked by pmg-smtp-filter. Have you any idea to do that?

Thank you for your answer. I want to write log to custom file when an email is blocked by pmg-smtp-filter. Have you any idea to do that?

pmg-smtp-filter logs all final actions (actually most actions) and the rule-name to the journal/syslog - e.g.:

Aug 08 11:53:33 pmg7 pmg-smtp-filter[7505]: 809DF62F0DD1DBE2BC: accept mail to <xx@xxyyy.example> (DE7B46A835) (rule: default-accept)

you can use this and create a dedicated syslog file (rsyslog can match quite effectively for patterns and write those to a dedicated file) for all such actions (keep in mind that the log-lines should also end up in /var/log/syslog, if you want to use the Tracking Center)

see e.g. https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/filters.html
(but there's tons of HOWTOs on the internet)

I hope this helps!
