No Mail Log ?!

2000-05-05 Thread Cedric Revest

Hello everyone,

I am using Qmail on Suse 6.3, using /var/spool/mail/USERDIR.

For an unknown reason, the mail logs have been cleared and Qmail does not
log anything anymore...

I have looked in syslog and qmail does not report any errors either.
Maybe permissions are wrong on the /var/log/mail file ?? what should they
be?

Does anybody have any suggestions? (No the hard drive is not full :))

Regards

Cedric Revest

This may be due to the feature of syslogd that if the file it's supposed to be 
writing to doesn't exist, it doesn't create it,  nothing gets logged. If that's 
the case, try touching the log file and see if the messages start coming.
