Viktor, did you ever figure out the logging issue? I just tried upgrading my test system to Postfix 3.1.4 (from 3.1.1) and the logging started to go to the new Apple logging system. Immediately fell back to 3.1.1 and the logging is back to /var/log/mail.log.
My initial make command (based on what you’ve previously suggested is): make -f Makefile.init makefiles CCARGS='-DUSE_TLS -I/usr/local/ssl/include \ -DUSE_SASL_AUTH \ -DUSE_CYRUS_SASL \ -I/usr/local/include/sasl \ -DDEF_SERVER_SASL_TYPE=\"dovecot\"\ -DDEF_COMMAND_DIR=\"/usr/local/sbin\"\ -DDEF_CONFIG_DIR=\"/usr/local/etc/postfix\"\ -DDEF_DAEMON_DIR=\"/usr/local/libexec/postfix\"\ -DHAS_PCRE -I/usr/local/include' \ AUXLIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -lpcre -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto \ -L/usr/local/lib -lsasl2’ -- Larry Stone lston...@stonejongleux.com > On Jan 3, 2017, at 6:51 AM, Larry Stone <lston...@stonejongleux.com> wrote: > > I seem to be missing a couple of messages in this thread but I upgraded my > laptop (I use it as a test system as well) to Sierra over the weekend and am > getting normal logging without doing anything special.
