+POSTLOG(1) POSTLOG(1)
+
+<b>NAME</b>
+ postlog - Postfix-compatible logging utility
+
+<b>SYNOPSIS</b>
+ <b>postlog</b> [<b>-iv</b>] [<b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>] [<b>-p</b> <i>priority</i>] [<b>-t</b> <i>tag</i>] [<i>text...</i>]
+
+<b>DESCRIPTION</b>
+ The <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a> command implements a Postfix-compatible logging inter-
+ face for use in, for example, shell scripts.
+
+ By default, <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a> logs the <i>text</i> given on the command line as one
+ record. If no <i>text</i> is specified on the command line, <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a> reads
+ from standard input and logs each input line as one record.
+
+ By default, logging is sent to <b>syslogd</b>(8) or <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a>; when the
+ standard error stream is connected to a terminal, logging is sent there
+ as well.
+
+ The following options are implemented:
+
+ <b>-c</b> <i>config</i><b>_</b><i>dir</i>
+ Read the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> configuration file in the named directory
+ instead of the default configuration directory.
+
+ <b>-i</b> (obsolete)
+ Include the process ID in the logging tag. This flag is ignored
+ as of Postfix 3.4, where the PID is always included.
+
+ <b>-p</b> <i>priority</i> (default: <b>info</b>)
+ Specifies the logging severity: <b>info</b>, <b>warn</b>, <b>error</b>, <b>fatal</b>, or
+ <b>panic</b>. With Postfix 3.1 and later, the program will pause for 1
+ second after reporting a <b>fatal</b> or <b>panic</b> condition, just like
+ other Postfix programs.
+
+ <b>-t</b> <i>tag</i> Specifies the logging tag, that is, the identifying name that
+ appears at the beginning of each logging record. A default tag
+ is used when none is specified.
+
+ <b>-v</b> Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Multiple <b>-v</b>
+ options make the software increasingly verbose.
+
+<b>SECURITY</b>
+ The <a href="postlog.1.html"><b>postlog</b>(1)</a> command is designed to run with set-groupid privileges,
+ so that it can connect to the <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> daemon process (Postfix 3.7
+ and later; earlier implementations of this command must not have
+ set-groupid or set-userid permissions).
+
+<b>ENVIRONMENT</b>
+ MAIL_CONFIG
+ Directory with the <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> file.
+
+<b>CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS</b>
+ The following <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>main.cf</b></a> parameters are especially relevant to this pro-
+ gram.
+
+ The text below provides only a parameter summary. See <a href="postconf.5.html"><b>postconf</b>(5)</a> for
+ more details including examples.
+
+ <b><a href="postconf.5.html#config_directory">config_directory</a> (see 'postconf -d' output)</b>
+ The default location of the Postfix <a href="postconf.5.html">main.cf</a> and <a href="master.5.html">master.cf</a> con-
+ figuration files.
+
+ <b><a href="postconf.5.html#import_environment">import_environment</a> (see 'postconf -d' output)</b>
+ The list of environment parameters that a privileged Postfix
+ process will import from a non-Postfix parent process, or
+ name=value environment overrides.
+
+ <b><a href="postconf.5.html#syslog_facility">syslog_facility</a> (mail)</b>
+ The syslog facility of Postfix logging.
+
+ <b><a href="postconf.5.html#syslog_name">syslog_name</a> (see 'postconf -d' output)</b>
+ A prefix that is prepended to the process name in syslog
+ records, so that, for example, "smtpd" becomes "prefix/smtpd".
+
+ Available in Postfix 3.4 and later:
+
+ <b><a href="postconf.5.html#maillog_file">maillog_file</a> (empty)</b>
+ The name of an optional logfile that is written by the Postfix
+ <a href="postlogd.8.html"><b>postlogd</b>(8)</a> service.
