    Problem: mail.warn log is absent on default install of Ubuntu 11.04

    Fix: After installing postfix and courier etc.,
    Edit /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf and uncomment mail.warn line (red below)

    vi /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

    #
    # Logging for the mail system. Split it up so that
    # it is easy to write scripts to parse these files.
    #
    #mail.info -/var/log/mail.info
    #mail.warn -/var/log/mail.warn
    mail.err /var/log/mail.err


    and restart rsyslog.

    mail.warn log will now be available in /var/log/

    Cheers
