| Post subject: | Postfix, Dovecot not logging on Ubuntu 12.10 |
I have tried going through the guide to setup mail on 10.04 at http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-ubuntu-10.04-lucid but got stuck around the dovecot stage. Initially i got errors (through virtualmin) but now i get Code: telnet 127.0.0.1 pop3 Although when i look in /var/log/mail.log the file is empty. I have tried adding lines to rsyslog.conf and syslog.conf but nothing gets it working. Anybody else having trouble, starting to wish i had setup on 10.04 now |

I ended up starting another linode from scratch on 10.04 LTS. Just got apache and mysql on then just ran virtualmin installer and all dovecot/postfix installed no problem. Found from reading around that the mysql alias method in the linode tutorials doesnt seem to be that popular with sys admins |

There are some guides which might help with debugging if you're still seeing issues: http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging |

I saw this too on a fresh install after installing the 12.10 image, and then installing Postfix. Nothing, no logs. Didn't dig into it deeper as I was just playing around on a new Linode to try a few things out. But I did quickly check on the 12.04 image and there are logs. So I think there is either an issue with the rsyslog / postfix config in the distro, or a problem with Linode's image for 12.10? |

I had the same problem. Turns out some of the key mail-related logs were owned by messagebus and not syslog. chown seems to have fixed the issue. |

I ran into the same issue. The previous poster is correct. For anyone researching the command to run is: sudo chown syslog.adm /var/log/mail.log sudo chmod 640 /var/log/mail.log |
