Curtis:
We recently switched our Postfix mail servers to Ubuntu Server 18, which
uses journald for logging. Since we have monitoring systems that parse
/var/log/maillog, we enabled rsyslog with imuxsock so we still can parse
the log like we did before journald.  But, it's unreliable.

I recall that system-effing-d has a rare-limiting feature that very
helpfully drops Postfix logging.

Here's one search result with suggestions for systemd.

Another search result: systemd and rsyslog both have rate limits.

It is time to update the Postfix page on LINUX logging brain damage.

oh, please... systemd and rsyslog. I use sysvinit+syslog-ng wherever
possible, on linux
