Whoops sent the last email from the wrong "from" address, so it was 
blocked.

Just wanted to say thanks for the info, it's not a big deal, for me the 
package is pulled in by syslog-ng, but am confident there is no security 
risk as syslog-ng is not
doing anything with mongo, just regular syslog stuff. Thought about 
rebuilding syslog-ng without mongo support just to get rid of that 
package and make the security reports
more "clean" but it's not an important thing at this time(some added 
work of having to manually track syslog-ng changes by changing the 
package versions).

Was just wondering if I was missing something obvious, appears I am 
not(have already consulted co-workers who were just as confused as I 
am).

Makes me wonder how routine a situation this is, super weird to me 
having used linux since 1996 anyway.

thanks
