Postfix is not working. The daemons are running but all sent mails are moved to deferred.

Unlike what's said in the man page --

Quote:
Problems and transactions are logged to the syslog daemon.


I see no qmgr logs in syslog.

dE_logics ... that may be due to how your 'syslog' is configured:

Code:
# awk '!/(^#|^$)/&&/mail/' /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
destination mail { file("/var/log/mail.log"); };
destination mailinfo { file("/var/log/mail.info"); };
destination mailwarn { file("/var/log/mail.warn"); };
destination mailerr { file("/var/log/mail.err"); };
filter f_mail { facility(mail); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); destination(mail); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); filter(f_info); destination(mailinfo); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); filter(f_warn); destination(mailwarn); };
log { source(src); filter(f_mail); filter(f_err); destination(mailerr); };
# egrep -m1 qmgr /var/log/mail.info
Mar  3 07:28:49 aporia postfix/qmgr[25029]: 51FAFB83B: from=<portage@localhost>, size=3419, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

best ... khay

Honestly I DID check that location, but mail.log only appears NOW!
