[syslog-ng]again: qmgr stops logging

[Florian Kessler]

Hi all,

i discussed an obviously well-known problem on postfix-users yesterday:

me:

Wietse and Varadi:

-specify an extra logging socket: not done, because i=B4m not using chrooted
postfix!
-update to syslog-ng 1.5.15: done
-try SIGHUP instead of restart: done

but i keep loosing qmgr messages after a syslog-ng restart/reload
in the meantime i updated my system to postfix from unstable (mail_version =
=3D
1.1.7)

Wietses final word:

> The syslog() CLIENT code is part of your system library. Some

So, any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Florian
