maillog vs Mailwatch log

[Walt Thiessen]

Thanks for that, Jerry.

I confronted them with what you said. However, while they hava ceased to 
claim that MailScanner doesn't log to /var/log/maillog, they insist that 
they have checked and there's nothing wrong with the logging function on 
the system.

Can you think of anything that might block MailScanner from logging 
successfully to /var/log/maillog?
