something along the lines of this in logcheck ignore files.

sendmail.*: Authentication-Warning: cob2.***.com: httpd set sender to
lomail@elgische***.com using

only you know the exact syntax of unusual system event, just ignore it being
careful not to ignore stuff you want.

Hi,
We installed a firewall on our RaQ 550 and it sends me "Unusual System
Events" occasionally and sometimes it says:

I'm not a programmer but AFAICT using -f means we added an extra parameter
'-f' as the from field in the newsletter script to route bounced messages to
the from address instead of the server admin. FYI: the newsletter is sent by
the PHP mail() command twice a week.

Any suggestions on how to avoid those Unusual system events messages? Since
the newsletter is quite large, the Unusual system events message is large
too, > 1 MB... Or just ignore them?
Tks+Brgds,
Reginald
