<div class="">With v4, I remember that MailScanner logged
to /var/log/maillog.<br class="">
<br class="">
However, after my server admins moved me to a different
server this past September and upgraded to v5, it seems
that /var/log/maillog isn't where MailScanner logs
anymore ... at least on our server.<br class="">
<br class="">
My server admins claim that this is because MailScanner
now logs to MailWatch instead.<br class="">
<br class="">
I always remembered MailWatch as an application that
maintained its own database, separate from MailScanner.
Maybe I'm wrong.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is this truly the new configuration, or is this a
reflection of something wrong my server admins did?<br class="">
