With those kinds of permissions, the qmaill user (which apparently does all your logging) can't even touch the /var/log/qmail directory, let alone write in it. Try ``chmod 755 /var/log''.

The mode on the directory has to be right, as does the mode of all of the parent directories. Do: ls -ld / /var /var/log /var/log/qmail /var/log/qmail/* and post the results. -Dave
