I correctly have the problem if the mailtrain app is stopped, it closes the network socket which causes nc to terminate. This is not what I would like to have, but maybe syslog is restarting nc in this case?
If not syslog is maybe not the right solution, but I will test this first. > 2.

I cannot find that described in any man page, /etc/defaults/rc.conf neither. I tested it but it is not working. Just added a file: /usr/local/etc/syslog.d/mailtrain.conf with content: mail.* /var/log/maillog.err I touched the /var/log/maillog.err and reloaded syslogd. But nothing appears in that file.
