Hi

I'm running sawmill 6.5.3. I was very pleased to see that I could get my logs parsed with my sawmill. So I put in the SpamfilterISP log to the sawmill.

Here comes the problem. After pointing out my log dir sawmill can't autodetect the log format, ok i pointed it out to sawmill, to use Logsat Spamfilter .... After running through my logs sawmill ends up by telling that none of my log entries fitted into the filter.

Here's a a few lines of my logfiles. I have a logfile per day:

I have tried just to pare one file, same result. Sawmill see a lot of entries but can't fit them into a filter.

Here's the excat error message from sawmill, when building the database first time:

No valid log entries found

Sawmill did not find any valid log entries, so the statistics are not available.

Here is some info on the database (this one with only one days log:

Files in current Log Source: D:\Program Files\SpamFilter\logfiles\test\20041122.log
Number of entries in current Log Source: 9242
Entries accepted by the filters: 0

Hope you can help me!!!

Best regards...

BTW: Running SFI 2.1.2.395 still Eval, about to get the last things OK before registering.

I am running Sawminn 6.5.10 and it detect the logs properly.  However,  I need to send a new log sample over to Sawmill to get the filter updated with all the new log entries.
