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.
