Running a mail server via MacPorts on macOS Monterey

Oops - forgot to CC the list again.

Hi Marius,

If I remember correctly I was using a development version for a while - it may have been when macOS moved to unified logging.

In /usr/local/sshguard.conf I use:

LOGREADER="/usr/bin/log stream --style syslog --info --type log --predicate 'processImagePath == \"/usr/sbin/sshd\" or processImagePath contains \"dovecot\" or processImagePath contains \"postfix/smtpd\”'"

I know I can log to a file with postfix and dovecot but I like to have postfix, opendkim, opendmarc,  pypolicyd-spf and amavis logs in a single file so use unified logging. I capture the log info every 10 minutes and write it to a mail.log file.

I also keep a sshguard blacklist and use a Murus table as the backend.

Murus is also the backend for fail2ban which I use to monitor http access.

The MacPorts version doesn’t offer the same flexibility.
