Q. Is there a way to get Postfix's copious logging in a separate file?
A. Yes, first you instruct Postfix to use an alternate Syslog facility.
Then direct that facility to a new file.
In /etc/postfix/main.cf set:
syslog_facility = local0
In /etc/syslog.conf add "local0.none" to /var/log/messages to stop
local0 messages going there:
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;auth.none;cron.none;local0.none /var/log/messages
Also in /etc/syslog.conf add this line:
local0.* -/var/log/postfix
Finally, restart postfix and syslog and check /var/log/postfix
