Postfix Logging Stops in Sierra

Category : Technology/PostfixStopsLoggingInSierra.txt

Postfix stopped logging to /var/mail/mail.log in Sierra. And after I’ve updated Dovecot to 2.2.25, Dovecot stops logging, too.

I’m guessing that both could be the result of Apple’s move towards the Apple System Logging (ASL) facility.

But I have no solution yet.

I feel like Sisyphus, rolling the boulder up the Mac OS mountain, every time at this time of the year.

Update: looks like this is a known problem on macOS Sierra Server. Will put this aside and work on something else, for now.
