+#### Logging
 
 For the postfix logs to be successfully read by the script
 `load-mail-server-logs`, they need to be log rotated with a date in the
 filename. Since that will create a lot of rotated log files (one for
-each day), it's good to have them in their own directory. For example
-(in `/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf` on Ubuntu, or
-`/etc/rsyslog.conf` on Debian), set:
+each day), it's good to have them in their own directory.

+You'll also need to tell Alaveteli where the log files are stored and that they're in postfix
+format. Update
