Hi, yesterday I was trying to truncate postfix log files because I want to download it from production server to development server and analyze it.
I wrote a Perl script making use of 'move' command in File::Copy module and move /var/log/maillog to another file while postfix is still running. Then postfix didn't append /var/log/maillog at all. I also tried to touch a new /var/log/maillog but postfix didn't recognize this new file, even after restarting postfix service. But sending out emails still works fine.
So questions are:
1. Does anybody know how to make postfix still writing logs to /var/log/maillog in this case?
2. Somebody suggests using logrotate but I have never used this utility before, Could anybody confirm that logrotate could be used for my purpose and it did works for all iRedMail applications, i.e. postfix, devocat, etc?
Thanks.
