/opt/psa/var/log/maillog empty

[SalvadorS]

Hello,

I create a new server (Debian 7, Plesk 11.5.30) and when I went to check /opt/psa/var/log/maillog (useful sometimes) the file is empty since I created the server two days ago (now the serves has 100 domains)

root@server:/opt/psa/var/log# ls -l
total 4
-rw------- 1 root root 867 ago 8 19:26 ftp_tls.log
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 ago 6 17:32 maillog
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 ago 7 07:35 maillog.processed
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 ago 9 07:35 mail_traffic_pendings.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 ago 9 07:35 smtp_pendings.log

This is correct? It is possible to activate this log?

Thanks

This is expected if you don't use mail at all Though highly unlikely.

Make sure your (r)syslog configuration file has an entry similar to:

mail.* -/opt/psa/var/log/maillog

Then reload syslog service.

Hello,

I have it:

root@server:/var/log# grep maillog /etc/rsyslog.conf
mail.* -/opt/psa/var/log/maillog

Also I check another server with Debian 7, Plesk 11.5.30 and same issue...

Hello,

Can anybody with plesk 11.5.30 (and Debian 7 if it is possible) if the file /opt/psa/var/log/maillog is empty.

All the servers I have with Plesk 11.5.30 has the file empty...

Thanks a lot

I checked yesterday on a Debian 7 x64 server and it was OK for me. I suggest checking whether you have mail records elsewhere at all, like /var/log/mail*.
