Yes.

Sorry, this must be a problem with my english, which is not my mother language.
No. it just refused to log postfix/smtp
But it MIGHT be, that some other logfiles weren't written to and I THINK that they were in syslog-ng.conf after the postfix/smtp statement. But after changing
to "postfix" w/o smtp all behavior is as it used to be.

Yes, see above.
