In the newsyslog.conf I have /var/log/exim/mainlog mailnull:mail 640 60 * @T00 ZC Does it mean exim uses syslogd? It is not obvious to me. If it does, how can I do the same with dovecot? In dovecot.conf I have the path pointing to /var/log/exim/mainlog. If I want to use syslogd, do I have to write to /var/log/maillog? I want to get it right using the first solution. Thank you very much for your patience with me! -- Zbigniew Szalbot
