Well, since we're apparently meant to be obsessed about what it is like to accept every default, then let's assume for a moment that you are asking about rsyslog with the maintainer supplied rsyslog.conf. Having just installed this laptop, I can run this: # grep -r '5590629f1f60.*delivery successful' /var/log /var/log/mail.log:Feb 6 14:51:14 rummy dma[164f55.5590629f1f60]: delivery successful /var/log/mail.info:Feb 6 14:51:14 rummy dma[164f55.5590629f1f60]: delivery successful /var/log/syslog:Feb 6 14:51:14 rummy dma[164f55.5590629f1f60]: delivery successful which you'll note is actually triplicating log messages by default.
