** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: rsyslog
  
- Particularly on servers, email should not be logged to. /var/log/syslog
+ Particularly on servers, email should not be logged to /var/log/syslog
  by default, as this clogs up syslog with tons of stuff that is already
  being logged to /var/log/mail.log, /var/log/mail.err,
  /var/log/mail.info, and /var/log/mail.warn by default.
  
  Suggested change in the default /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf:
  
-  -    *.*;auth,authpriv.none     -/var/log/syslog
+  -    *.*;auth,authpriv.none     -/var/log/syslog
  
-  +    *.*;auth,authpriv,mail.none      -/var/log/syslog
+  +    *.*;auth,authpriv,mail.none      -/var/log/syslog
