I've just installed postfix on my ubuntu server and am trying to debug why outgoing mails are not being sent. This led me to notice that the /var/log/mail.log file is missing. For that matter, there's nothing named mail* in my /var/log. I've tried the following to no avail:
- Create a mail.log and change owner+group to postfix
- Restart postfix and rsyslog
- Delete the dummy log and restart the services, then send a mail
sudo apt-get remove rsyslog
/sudo apt-get install rsyslog
Running postconf syslog_facility
returns syslog_facility = mail
Any other ideas?
