Yes, it uses syslog.

I have been trying a few different entries in syslogd.conf and I still can't get it to log to a different file. Do you have an example of what an entry in syslog.conf should look like?

mail.* /var/log/maillog

Wont that move all mail loging messages, including ones from postfix, to the new file?

Yes.

What I want to do is have postfix loging to one file, and courier logging to another.

Can't do it with the standard syslog, which has only a limited number of generic log system facilities, and cannot distinguish between different applications in the same log facility. See the syslog man page for more information.

I've seen some replacement syslogs that can use regular expressions to filter different messages into different log files. Try those.
