Just enter the IP (or resolvable name) of your syslog server here:

Configuration/System/Reports - Syslog Server

now, all syslogs are additionally sent to the syslog server.
 
Why I don't see this :D

Anyway, some suggestions about Syslog Server? Someone know a free solution?

Thank you!

Hello, is this setting still available in Proxmox Mail Gateway 7.1-3? I am unable to find it.

Thanks and sorry for bumping an old thread.

It doesn't appear to be there does it.
You can configure rsyslog to send to a remote log server.
Modify /etc/rsyslog.conf or add your conf as a new file in /etc/rsyslog.d/. I'm logging to an elastic endpoint with the following appended to /etc/rsyslog.conf:
Code:
$ActionForwardDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_ForwardFormat
*.*;auth,authpriv.*       @192.168.0.8:5141

EDIT: I just read the page I linked to above and my example is not recommended. Check one of the suggested formats on that page.
