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.
