You could also ask this on the rpms mailing list Bruce has set up for this
application. Send mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to subscribe.

Anyhoo, the default for the RPM is to use splogger. This sends log entries
to syslog for processing.

To set it up differently, you have two options:

1) <http://em.ca/~bruceg/qmail+patches/loggers/> Choose your preferred
logging method and install the appropriate RPM. I don't do this so I can't
help much beyond this...

2) Put your desired logging mechanism in /var/qmail/control/logger and it
will be used instead of splogger. I have the following in mine:

  /usr/bin/multilog t s100000 /var/log/{}

This sticks the multilog entries in /var/log/SERVICE, where SERVICE is
`qmail', `pop3d', `smtpd', or whatever.

HTH!
