<b><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></b>
This program logs events on behalf of Postfix programs when the <a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">mail</a>-
<a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">log_file</a> configuration parameter specifies a non-empty value.
<b><a name="bugs">BUGS</a></b>
Non-daemon Postfix programs don't know that they should log to the
internal logging service before they have processed command-line
options and <a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a> parameters. These programs still log earlier events
to the syslog service.
If Postfix is down, the non-daemon programs <a href="postfix.1.html"><b>postfix</b>(1)</a>, <a href="postsuper.1.html"><b>postsuper</b>(1)</a>,
<a href="postmulti.1.html"><b>postmulti</b>(1)</a>, and <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a>, will log directly to <b>$<a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">maillog_file</a></b>. These
programs expect to run with root privileges, for example during Postfix
start-up, reload, or shutdown.
Other non-daemon Postfix programs will never write directly to <b>$<a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">mail</a>-</b>
<b><a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">log_file</a></b> (also, logging to stdout would interfere with the operation of
some of these programs). These programs can log to <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> if they
are run by the super-user, or if their executable file has set-gid per-
mission. Do not set this permission on programs other than <a href="postdrop.1.html"><b>postdrop</b>(1)</a>,
<a href="postqueue.1.html"><b>postqueue</b>(1)</a> and (Postfix >= 3.7) <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a>.
<b><a name="configuration_parameters">CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</a></b>
Changes to <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> are not picked up automatically, because <ahref="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>
terminates only after reaching the <b><a href="postconf.5.html#max_idle">max_idle</a></b> time limit. Use the com-
mand "<b>postfix reload</b>" to speed up a change.
The text below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for

request before it is terminated by a built-in watchdog timer.
