[AMaViS-user] [OT] Linux and syslogd flushing

Hi,
I am running amavisd-new on a RHEL3 Linux box, and I would like to
disable syslogd immediate log flushing (as written in the amavis
tweaking FAQ).

I am afraid this is not a well documented feature of syslogd, and I've
only found that prepending a dash "-" to the logname should activate the
delayed disk write:

mail.* -/var/log/maillog

Added and restarted syslogd, but I see no real difference when tailing
-f the file.

Anyone has more complete information, that could also be added to the
docs? How often should Linux syslogd then write to disk?

TIA,
Paolo
