postfix logging everything to /var/log/syslog

[ultralame]

My postfix messages are *ALL* getting logged to /var/log/syslog, including the ones that are getting logged to the mail.* log files.

How can I stop the mail messages from getting logged there?

1) There is no mention of logging in my main.cf file.
/etc/syslog.conf:
# /etc/syslog.conf Configuration file for syslogd.
#
# For more information see syslog.conf(5)
# manpage.

#
# First some standard logfiles. Log by facility.
#

auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog
#cron.* /var/log/cron.log
daemon.* -/var/log/daemon.log
kern.* -/var/log/kern.log
lpr.* -/var/log/lpr.log
mail.* -/var/log/mail.log
user.* -/var/log/user.log
uucp.* /var/log/uucp.log

#
# Logging for the mail system. Split it up so that
# it is easy to write scripts to parse these files.
#
mail.info -/var/log/mail.info
mail.warn -/var/log/mail.warn
mail.err /var/log/mail.err

# Logging for INN news system
#
news.crit /var/log/news/news.crit
news.err /var/log/news/news.err
news.notice -/var/log/news/news.notice

#
# Some `catch-all' logfiles.
#
*.=debug;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
news.none;mail.none -/var/log/debug
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages

#
# Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in.
#
*.emerg *

#
# I like to have messages displayed on the console, but only on a virtual
# console I usually leave idle.
#
#daemon,mail.*;\
# news.=crit;news.=err;news.=notice;\
# *.=debug;*.=info;\
# *.=notice;*.=warn /dev/tty8

# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it,
# you must invoke `xconsole' with the `-file' option:
#
# $ xconsole -file /dev/xconsole [...]
#
# NOTE: adjust the list below, or you'll go crazy if you have a reasonably
# busy site..
#
daemon.*;mail.*;\
news.crit;news.err;news.notice;\
*.=debug;*.=info;\
*.=notice;*.=warn |/dev/xconsole

Change the line:

*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog

to:

*.*;auth,authpriv.none;mail.none -/var/log/syslog

Cheers!

Foxylad, thanks man!

Mine was working perfectly and then I installed webmin to have a poke around, and next thing I know the postfix had stopped logging to mail.log.

_How_ do you know how to do this? I'd even had a look in the syslog.conf file and was trying to wrap my brain around it, and then given up in disgust! :)

I think you also need to restart syslogd to make the changes take effect:

sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart
