Subject: How to change the log location
I think I have traveled from one end of the internet to the
other on this one :) How do you change the log location for postfix?
Currently, the log is sent to /var/log/mail.log on Mac OS X.
I would like to move it to
/opt/local/var/log/postfix/mail.log since that is where postfix is.
OS X has a log roller built in, that rolls things out, I need
to keep my logs longer. If I edit the OS X log roller to
exclude the mail.log, every system update seems to put it back.
I did not see any log path in the configure options for
building it out, or in any of the cf files.

Thanks. I managed to move it. The newsyslog feature of rolling it
seems to have broken as a resul of the move though. Thanks again.
