I am using redhat linux and the default location of my postfix is /var/log/maillog



. I am trying to change maillog location to /app/log/maillog. I have tried to update rsyslog.conf




mail.* -/app/log/maillog




I need to find the right procedure to change the path of mail log.

  • Did you restart rsyslog after making this change? Is the new logfile then created?
