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.
