Configure syslog to log messages from the mail facility to another host.

mail.*    /var/log/maillog
mail.*    @notsobusyhost.my.domain

Most syslog servers support this syntax.

On your notsobusyhost running Linux, edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog and change
the line SYSLOGD_OPTIONS so it includes "-r".  If you don't, the
notsobusyhost won't listen on the syslog network socket and all your log
messages will be lost.
