Binary package hint: rsyslog

Particularly on servers, email should not be logged to. /var/log/syslog by default, as this clogs up syslog with tons of stuff that is already being logged to /var/log/mail.log, /var/log/mail.err, /var/log/mail.info, and /var/log/mail.warn by default.

Suggested change in the default /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf:

 - *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog

 + *.*;auth,authpriv,mail.none -/var/log/syslog
