For context, this crate produces the 'proxmox-mail-forward' helper.
This binary is invoked by the local Postfix daemon in case an email is sent to
the
local root user. The executable receives the mail via stdin and feeds it into
our
notification stack.
So in this case we only really need need to be logging to journald. I see no
harm
in writing logs to stderr as well though, so I think we don't necessarily need
to
add another subscriber. As far as I know, Postfix just redirects the output to
/dev/null.

That would indeed be a bit more clear :D If you do that now, at least for the
perlmod
function, I would rebase this commit onto yours.
Thanks!
