In contrast to lots of other daemons, qmail does not directly support syslog, and just dumps logs to stderr and expects you to do something with them. One option is to use qmail's splogger to redirect the logs to syslog, but I've never done it for qmail-smtpd, so can't be more specific. Your other main option is probably to use djb's daemontools instead of init.d, which you'll find lots of documentation on at the standard qmail sites: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ http://www.qmailrocks.org/ http://www.qmail.org/ Cheers, Gavin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
