/etc/syslog.conf file contains: mail.*     /var/log/maillog

I've looked into this file tonight and see no logs from yesterday when I was
playing with it nor tonight.

I did the setup of the www.lifewithqmail.com - section 2 - followed it
pretty much by the letter.  Funny thing is when I do the "echo to:schu777 |
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject" - I see the mail appear in the file
~schu777/Mailbox  - So I'm guessing I have something not setup quite right??

Thanks for your time...really do appreciate it!!
