I'm a newbie to Debian and pretty new to Linux.  I used to use Fedora, and
spamd logged to /var/log/maillog.  I used sa-stats to generate stats from
that file.  However, /var/log/mail.log and other mail.* files on my Debian
system don't have any SA info, nor does syslog.  Any ideas about this other
than the solution mentioned above that I will probably try?  Thanks - John
