I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here... :(
Multiple RedHat8 servers, Postfix configured on all of them for
internal network mail server (primarily server log updates, etc. to
admin).
On all of them bar one, I get relevant logging in /var/log/maillog. On
the one - maillog remains empty, even though mail is being sent OK.
I've diff-compared main.cf, master.cf and rsyslog.conf on one that
logs to maillog and the one that doesn't. Main.cf has a different
hostname specified, master.cf is identical. Both rsyslogd.conf have
the following setup for mail:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
mail.* -/var/log/maillog
Yet nothing gets logged to /var/log/maillog on ONE of them. Mail is
getting sent and received from the server.
Logging is working for other services.
journalctl -u postfix shows (at the end):

...where as can be seen it was logging OK in January, then it stopped.
