FreeBSD syslog troubles

[Kelly Hamlin]

im not sure if you have a syslog.conf in your etc, but try adding a line
like this
mail.*                                          /var/log/mail/maillog
and then restart mailscanner, it should write something to
/var/log/mail/maillog, you may have to creat that mail dir in your /var/log
dir
hope this helps
