These programs +still log earlier events to the syslog service. + +If Postfix is down, the non\-daemon programs \fBpostfix\fR(1), +\fBpostsuper\fR(1), \fBpostmulti\fR(1), and \fBpostlog\fR(1), +will log directly to \fB$maillog_file\fR. These programs +expect to run with root privileges, for example during +Postfix start\-up, reload, or shutdown. + +Other non\-daemon Postfix programs will never write directly to +\fB$maillog_file\fR (also, logging to stdout would interfere +with the operation of some of these programs). These programs +can log to \fBpostlogd\fR(8) if they are run by the super\-user, +or if their executable file has set\-gid permission. Do not +set this permission on programs other than \fBpostdrop\fR(1), +\fBpostqueue\fR(1) and (Postfix >= 3.7) \fBpostlog\fR(1). +.SH "CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS" +.na +.nf +.ad +.fi +Changes to \fBmain.cf\fR are picked up automatically, as +\fBpostlogd\fR(8) processes run for only a limited amount +of time.
