syslog problem

Hi All,

I am a running a postfix server and have setup the syslog.conf file so
that it logs it's messages to separate files and not /var/adm/messages.

The problem is I am still getting mail.info messages in the
/var/adm/messages file?

Here is an example of a message logged....

# tail -1 /var/adm/messages
Jan 8 10:21:30 mailout mailout/smtp[29892]: [ID 197553 mail.info]
C8C1012411: to=<someone@somewhere.com>,
relay=mailhost.somewhere.com[x.x.x.x], delay=346, status=sent (250
Message received: 7772C73A780.AAA3F00)

Here is my syslog.conf....

/var/adm/messages

mail.debug;local0.debug ifdef (`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog,
@loghost)

mail.info /var/log/mail.log
local0.info /var/log/mailin.log

===========END===============

As you can see the mail.info and local0.info are set to log messages in
/var/log/mail.log and /var/log/mailin.log.

Does anybody know why this is logging these messages into
/var/adm/messages?

I am running Solaris 8 on a Sparc 20 with Postfix version 2.0.9

Thanks & Regards,
Colin.
