You bought a pig in a poke, and, not surprisingly, you don't really
know how it works. From the scant documentation at that URL, it
appears that that installation is based loosely on "Life with
qmail"--at least it uses daemontools and an LWQ-like qmailctl
script. If that's the case, the logs are probably under
/var/log/qmail.

I'd strongly suggest removing the toaster installation and
reinstalling following the LWQ directions. Yes, it's more work, but
you'll at least have some understanding of how things work--and some
documentation for troubleshooting.

Yes, they are there. But there are a lot of logfiles. the listing is:

[root@mx qmail]# ls -al
total 32
drwxr-x--- 8 qmaill qmail 4096 Jul 25 20:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Aug 3 21:35 ..

In each folder are files. example in folder smtp:

multilog doesn't work that way, so you either need to deal with
multiple log files or you need to switch to another (inferior, IMHO)
logger like syslog.

OK, and do you know a manual about that or do I have to read the full
syslog documentation?

Change /service/qmail*/log/run to something like:

#!/bin/sh
exec splogger qmail

Try "man splogger" and "man syslog.conf".
