Hello, I've been trying to reduce the incoming mail from my servers daily run. I've managed to configure periodic.conf in a way that when there's nothing wrong in the logs I get no mail. On 3 servers I still get mail with the following output: "hostname kernel log messages: +++ /tmp/security.r9GEufla 2015-01-06 03:01:08.000000000 +0200 +arp: unknown hardware address format (0x0800) (from 00:00:00:00:00:00 to 00:00:95:9a:78:99) ... ... -- End of security output --" There seems to be some brokenly configured hardware on our network which I can do nothing about. Now I'm trying to find a way to not get this mail. I edited /etc/periodic/security/700.kernelmsg to egrep the lines I don't want to have in my daily mail. But still I get the following: "hostname kernel log messages: +++ /tmp/security.rOXj53hS 2015-01-07 03:05:42.000000000 +0200 -- End of security output --" Is there a way to not get this message to dmesg (blocking it with ipfw or something?), or not to get the mail with only /tmp/security line? Thanks in advance, Markus
