postfix-1.1.12-alt1

After doing \&quot;service syslogd reload\&quot; (or condreload), log messages from postfix/qmgr are no longer written to /var/log/mail/* until qmgr is restarted (e.g., by \&quot;service postfix reload\&quot;). Because of this, important information is lost (qmgr log lines contains the message sizes required for mail accounting etc.).

The problem seems to go away after creating /dev/log in the postfix chroot jail:

mkdir /var/spool/postfix/dev
ln -s /var/spool/postfix/dev/log /etc/syslog.d/postfix
service syslogd reload
