There is more than this. Wietse http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#logging Postfix logs all failed and successful deliveries to a logfile. When Postfix uses syslog logging (the default), the file is usually called /var/log/maillog, /var/log/mail, or something similar; the exact pathname is configured in a file called /etc/syslog.conf, /etc/rsyslog.conf, or something similar. When Postfix uses its own logging system (see MAILLOG_README), the location of the logfile is configured with the Postfix maillog_file parameter. When Postfix does not receive or deliver mail, the first order of business is to look for errors that prevent Postfix from working properly: % egrep '(warning|error|fatal|panic):' /some/log/file | more Note: the most important message is near the BEGINNING of the output. Error messages that come later are less useful. The nature of each problem is indicated as follows: "panic" indicates a problem in the software itself that only a programmer can fix. Postfix cannot proceed until this is fixed. "fatal" is the result of missing files, incorrect permissions, incorrect configuration file settings that you can fix. Postfix cannot proceed until this is fixed. "error" reports an error condition. For safety reasons, a Postfix process will terminate when more than 13 of these happen. "warning" indicates a non-fatal error. These are problems that you may not be able to fix (such as a broken DNS server elsewhere on the network) but may also indicate local configuration errors that could become a problem later.
