I agree and I understood. Although, here is the impetus behind my change to
produce more verbose logs.
Postfix is seemingly logging to the correct facility:
server:/var/log # postconf -d | grep syslog
syslog_facility = mail
syslog_name =
${multi_instance_name:postfix}${multi_instance_name?$multi_instance_name}
Syslog is seemingly configured properly, as well:
server:/var/log # grep mail /etc/rsyslog.conf
# email-messages
mail.* -/var/log/mail
mail.info -/var/log/mail.info
mail.warning -/var/log/mail.warn
mail.err /var/log/mail.err
*.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages
But yet, /var/log/mail.err, remains empty.
Once again, I am refraining from changing much of the defaults in Postfix or
within the OS.
Thank you,
