Re: Failed to write to log file

- Do you have a unix account "agaya" on this server?
- Is there any application/daemon running as unix user "agaya"?
- Is there any application which will send mail to local unix account "agaya"?

-Is there any application/daemon running as unix user "agaya"?   ( NO )
-Is there any application which will send mail to local unix account "agaya"?  ( NO )

Re: Failed to write to log file

Does this user have crontab jobs?

One solution to avoid this issue: Forward all mails sent to this account to a real mail user.
You can add one entry in /etc/postfix/aliases:

agaya: real_user@domain.ltd

After adding this line, run postfix command to make it work:

# postalias /etc/postfix/aliases

Postfix will detect this change and load it automatically.
