maillog stops logging?

[Gao]

I had this issue as well.

I am using CentOS 7.2  64bit and during the last month maillog stopped 
twice without any reason. When the maillog stops, message log also 
stopped. But other log (secure, fail2ban.,etc) keep working. I also have 
MailWatch on the same box and MailScanner still send records to MailWatch.

I tried to restart rsyslogd and MailScanner and that didn't bring the 
logging back. I have to reboot the server then everything back to normal.

Last time the maillog stopped is a week ago. I did a full "yum update" 
and reboot. So far the maillog is working well. Not sure what happened. 
I still have my finger crossed...
