I followed the Perfect Edgy setp, and have a bit of a nucians with postfix. Is it possible to have postfix send all the smtp relqated reports to something else than /var/log/syslog? The thing is on a busy system , I get so much stuff in syslog from postifx that it is difficult to find other system events. It would be nicer if postfix would send it's information to something like /var/log/postifx and only log important info to syslog, such as startup and shutdown or errors. Just an example of how much crap it log to syslog.

Take a look at /etc/syslog.conf, to remove the mail logging from syslog make sure you have a line similar to the one below: *.*;auth,authpriv.none;mail.none;mail.error -/var/log/syslog Reboot/restart syslog server and hopefully logging be gone!
