‎My maillog doesn't rotate. Is this an option in postfix? Trawling the interwebs, I find maillog rotation handled outside postfix with custom scripts.

Hi All,

Anyone know what I should check for to determine why logging to /var/log/mail stopped suddenly between Apr 25-27? I can see mail logs before and after those dates but nothing was logged between those dates. Mail was working fine else we would have had customers call up during those three days.

Thanks.

Andy

Check for:
- Syslog crashes
- Botched log rotation especially with compression vs. Signals (logrotate, newsyslog)
- Systemd/journal* malfunction on modern Linux
- File system issues (skipped fsck after a crash)
- Memory and other hw issues
