I have a problem which I have tried for hours and hours to solve but to no avail.
I have set up and got postfix to run correctly as an smtp server and it seems to be working fine (I have tried sending messages using localhost as smtp and it works fine).
However, postfix never makes any log entries in the file /var/log/mail.log

I have even tried using a manual logger:
logger -p mail.info Test log message here...
But to absolutely no avail, the mail.log remains an empty file.
Please could somebody help me?
