I had the same problem with rh6.x when I first installed qmail. Looked at
syslog.conf and everything was valid but it still didn't work. I only made
it work by assuming something didn't work as it was supposed to..
Original sysconf.conf had mail.none in in the /var/log/messages line, with a
mail.* line for /var/log/maillog below it.
I removed the mail.none line from the /var/log/messages line, and put a
mail.* into /var/log/maillog BEFORE the /var/log/messages line and it
worked.
Such as the following..
[..]
mail.* /var/log/maillog
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
[..]
Something just isn't right with syslog in this version.. I use cyclog now
anyways =)

Subject: Re: Qmail not logging to the maillog..
I've had this same issue since I moved qmail from a redhat 5.2 to a 6.1. I
have been considering other alternatives than syslog. Just have not had
time to deal with it.
