The upgrade
Recently I upgraded a server from Fedora 21 to Fedora 23. This was a difficult process because newer kernels (> 3.14.23-100.fc19) won’t work with the system. Finally I was able to boot the system with the old kernel, but I was not seeing any information in /var/log/maillog. Sendmail was running and I was able to send and receive messages, but nothing was written to the maillog.
When I talked to somebody in #fedora he mentioned I could do a test by running the following simple command:
logger "hello world"logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused
