Split sympa logs

Disclaimer: this has been used in production on a Debian Stretch server, with Sympa 6.2.16 with SysVinit service

By default, all sympa logs are sent to rsyslog, which put them in /var/log/syslog.

If you want to ease seeking things in logs, you may want to put each processus log to a dedicated log file.

1. create /var/log/sympa:

   mkdir /var/log/sympa chown root:adm /var/log/sympa chmod 750 /var/log/sympa

2. put the provided rsyslog.d/sympa.conf in /etc/rsyslog.d/ and restart rsyslog

3. put the provided logrotate.d/sympa in /etc/logrotate.d/

That's all 🙂
