This part is needed? Don't the below suffice?
Yes, as Per already wrote.
[...] And I agree to your statement, Carlos, that a separate logfile shouldn't be the default setting. I know logging goes now to systemctl journal, and it may increase. Do you think a separate logfile will be much smaller than the additional space on systemctl journal?
Contrary to what Pattrick says, sorry, a year of syslog is much smaller than a month of journal storing the same data. Tested and proved.
Okay.
With any syslog daemon the traditional setup (and default in openSUSE) is to send all mail related entries to a different file. It is thus easy to track issues with mail this way: all postfix, fetchmail, amavis, dovecot things are logged and timestamped in the same text file. Not procmail, though.
To have it that way again, it will be necessary to modify logging for postfix, amavis and dovecot as well? I never thought about that, but you can use "journalctl -u postfix.service -u amavis.service -u dovecot.service -u fetchmail.service" to see all these logs in systemd journal together as well.
