Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rsyslog

Particularly on servers, email should not be logged to. /var/log/syslog
by default, as this clogs up syslog with tons of stuff that is already
being logged to /var/log/mail.log, /var/log/mail.err,
/var/log/mail.info, and /var/log/mail.warn by default.

Suggested change in the default /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf:

 -    *.*;auth,authpriv.none     -/var/log/syslog

 +    *.*;auth,authpriv,mail.none      -/var/log/syslog

** Affects: rsyslog (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
