Currently exim4 does not log to syslog but to its own log file /var/log/exim4/mainlog on the main server, standalone and reular clients. This means that mail logs are not forwarded to the main server, the question is whether exim should log to syslog and whether to forward the mail facility to the main server. The argument against forwarding is that all mails go through the main server anyway since it is configured as a smarthost on the client. This also relates to what loggin setup is adapted in #1051834, if we use a persistent journal with limits it would be convenient to include the mail logs there in order to enforce a log size limit. -- Guido Berhoerster
