Hi,

Seemed to have been a permission issue on /var/log/exim and exim couldn't
create a panic log file. Fixed and the syslogs has gone (obviously, it
fails back to logging to mail.info...

Do you really mean _all_ data, for all the mails sent and received is
going to syslog, or just the stuff from early in start-up?

What does:
$ exim -bP log_file_path
show, and does it differ from what you set in the config (presumably in
the first section, for global config?)

Does /var/log/exim/ exist?

When you HUP the running daemon to get it to re-read the config file,
what do you see logged around about the time of the restart? The lines
when Exim logs its version, etc.
