Re: /var/log/maillog disappeared

Weird, restarting syslog service should create /var/log/maillog as defined in syslog config file.

OK, as a temporary solution, please create it manually, owner should be root:wheel, permission 0640.

Re: /var/log/maillog disappeared

This is not an error. To fix it, please run command below:

postconf -e compatibility_level=2
service postfix reload
