How to restore deleted Postfix log files in Ubuntu
If you accidentally deleted Postfix log files in Ubuntu (or any other system), you can restore them in the following way:
sudo touch /var/log/mail.log sudo touch /var/log/mail.info sudo touch /var/log/mail.warn sudo touch /var/log/mail.err sudo chmod a+w /var/log/mail*
After that restart syslog daemon:
sudo service rsyslog restart
And also, to check if logs are writing, you can restart postfix:
sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart
