It’s been discussed here before. And so far, no one has come up with a way to 
build on a current MacOS version and have it log to /var/log/mail.log.

Viktor did suggest that a while back and it does work. I have an old Macintosh 
running MacOS 10.9.5 in order to support a fax modem and I do the Postfix 
builds on it as well.
