Why not just provide a syslog daemon configured for only Postfix use on MACs? Then you don't have to hack the main postfix code, and syslog isn't anything difficult either? It can log to a private postfix log file using a non-standard port as well. Seems simpler and less error prone. Just have it startup first, and maybe put in the checks for postfix to die if it can't reach the private syslog server. It just seems like you're re-inventing the wheel here, when the real problem is more native OS support for standards. John
