We'll see if that helps. </p> <p>I can see how to increase the log level in postfix for specific domains, but not how to limit it, generally. I have the old (courier+postfix) setup. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/log-rotation-too-fasttoo-much-logging#post-775 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 20:47:47 +0000 Richard 775@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>To change the logging preferences you need to edit the file /etc/newsyslog.conf</p> <p>You might also change the debug level in postfix to help. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/log-rotation-too-fasttoo-much-logging#post-773 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 01:57:58 +0000 Michael 773@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Log is turning over every hour, with this message:Feb 12 19:00:00 Mailserver newsyslog[2599]: logfile turned over due to size&gt;100K</p> <p>That's not enough time to troubleshoot anything but realtime problems. I'd like to either log less or roll over less. </p>
