Excerpt from the Postfix 2.0.8 README_FILES/LINUX_README file in case
it proves interesting:
-----------------
LINUX syslogd uses synchronous writes by default. Because of this,
syslogd can actually use more system resources than Postfix. To
avoid such madness, disable synchronous mail logfile writes by
editing /etc/syslog.conf and by prepending a - to the logfile name:
mail.* -/var/log/mail.log
Send a "kill -HUP" to the syslogd to make the change effective.
-----------------
Cheers,
Steve
