Short answer - check: a) syslogd b) /etc/syslog.conf Long answer: syslogd is the logger daemon, and postfix will be logging through that. # /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart may fix the problem right there. Check /var/log/messages for any errors in syslogd startup. It may have crashed at some point or failed to start because of a serious syntax error in /etc/syslog.conf. If syslogd is running ok and working for the rest of the system, then double check /etc/syslog.conf to see where mail facility logging is directed (the default is /var/log/maillog, but that could have been changed or the line deleted). Check any settings in postfix for syslog facility (should be 'mail') and priority (if exists), match these against the filters in /etc/syslog.conf to make sure they are high enough to be logged. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
