putting on the top of the file worked but renaming the config file
00-postfix.conf didn't even though theoretically it should have loaded
the 00-postfix conf before the 50-default.conf


Other strange happenings....


 rsyslog itself is logging to both syslog and messages but postfix is
logging to both syslog and mail.log, cron is logging only to syslog.

Rsyslog logs twice into messages like this

Oct 22 11:02:22 momentumdb rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd"
swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="9853" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"]
rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'.
Oct 22 11:02:22 momentumdb rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd"
swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="9853" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"]
rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'.

and once into syslog

Oct 22 11:02:22 momentumdb rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd"
swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="9853" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"]
rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'.


weird..

At least the postgres logging is sorted. Thanks.
