+# Logging
+
+For the postfix logs to be read by the script 'load-mail-server-logs' succesfully 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 (on Ubuntu) /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

+ mail.* -/var/log/mail/mail.log

+And also edit /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog:

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

+ MTA_LOG_PATH: '/var/log/mail/mail.log-*'
+ MTA_LOG_TYPE: "postfix"
