Nothing showing up in /var/log/maillog but EFA working

[webguyz]

Just brought up my EFA 4 system to day and its sending out emails ok but when I went to check /var/log/maillog it was empty. I am used to postfix send ing logs to /var/log/maillog. Any idea why I'm not getting any email logs?

Thanks

Acting like syslog was not installed. Did a yum install syslog and it said it was installed, but when I tried to start it then it said service was not found.

[root@efa4 ~]# yum install syslog

Googled symptoms and found article about DNF command

Working great now.

Thanks

I had exactly the same issue, I am so used to looking at /var/log/maillog to see what is going on.

I followed the link you posted webguyz and now logging is enabled!

This was on a brand new CentOS 8 build.
