These programs still\nlog earlier events to the syslog service.\n\nIf Postfix is down, the non-daemon programs postfix(1), postsuper(1), postmulti(1), and post‐‐\nlog(1),  will  log  directly  to $maillogfile. These programs expect to run with root privi‐\nleges, for example during Postfix start-up, reload, or shutdown.\n\nOther non-daemon Postfix programs will never write directly to $maillogfile  (also,  logging\nto  stdout  would interfere with the operation of some of these programs). These programs can\nlog to postlogd(8) if they are run by the super-user, or if their executable file has set-gid\npermission. Do not set this permission on programs other than postdrop(1) and postqueue(1).\n\n### CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS\n\nChanges  to main.cf are picked up automatically, as postlogd(8) processes run for only a lim‐\nited amount of time. Use the command \"postfix reload\" to speed up a change.\n\nThe text below provides only a parameter summary. See postconf(5) for more details  including\nexamples.\n\nconfigdirectory (see 'postconf -d' output)\nThe default location of the Postfix main.cf and master.cf configuration files.\n\nmaillogfile (empty)\nThe name of an optional logfile that is written by the Postfix postlogd(8) service.\n\nprocessid (read-only)\nThe process ID of a Postfix command or daemon process.\n\nprocessname (read-only)\nThe process name of a Postfix command or daemon process.\n\nsyslogname (see 'postconf -d' output)\nA  prefix  that is prepended to the process name in syslog records, so that, for exam‐\nple, \"smtpd\" becomes \"prefix/smtpd\".\n\nservicename (read-only)\nThe master.cf service name of a Postfix daemon process.\n\npostlogdwatchdogtimeout (10s)\nHow much time a postlogd(8) process may take to process a request before it is  termi‐\nnated by a built-in watchdog timer.\n\n### SEE ALSO\n\npostconf(5), configuration parameters\nsyslogd(8), system logging\n\n### READMEFILES\n\nUse \"postconf readmedirectory\" or \"postconf htmldirectory\" to locate this information.\nMAILLOGREADME, Postfix logging to file or stdout\n\n### LICENSE\n\nThe Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.\n\n### HISTORY\n\nThis service was introduced with Postfix version 3.4.\n\nAUTHOR(S)\nWietse Venema\nGoogle, Inc.\n111 8th Avenue\nNew York, NY 10011, USA\n\n\n\nPOSTLOGD(8postfix)\n\n"
