Hi guys, how can I have my mail logs written in /var/log/mail instead of /var/log/messages? I use Postfix with Amavisd-new and my logger is syslog-ng... I really don't like all this stuff in /var/log/messages :twisted:
Thanks...

Syslog-ng has pretty sophisticated filtering abilities, so that should be no
problem. I suggest you start from the syslog-ng reference manual.
The syntax is pretty straightforward, and a well configured system
logger brings great pleasure to it's user :)

Happy configuring!
