Currently the stock postfix master.cf file contains these commented
lines in the submission and submissions entries respectively:
# -o syslog_name=postfix/submission
# -o syslog_name=postfix/submissions
But the default for syslog_name is this:
syslog_name = ${multi_instance_name?{$multi_instance_name}:{postfix}}
...and the master.cf entry for the relay service has this:
-o
syslog_name=${multi_instance_name?{$multi_instance_name}:{postfix}}/$service_name
I would propose that the two commented lines be changed to reflect the
multi-instance name for consistency with the rest of the services.
In addition it might be worthwhile to consider removing the syslog_name
lines from master.cf alltogether and adding a new main.cf entry of:
syslog_name =
${multi_instance_name?{$multi_instance_name}:{postfix}}/$service_name
The main downside here is you'll end up with names such as
postfix/smtpd/smtpd but it will at least be consistent. Also we could
instead change the default itself but then we're pushing that new
default onto existing installations and I don't personally think we
should do that in this case.
