Is postfix using syslog? If so, you may need to check your syslog config - 
it might be lumping mail log messages with the rest of the system 
messages.

IMHO, building postfix *usually* means its using syslog but syslog may 
need that extra bit of config. Here's some sample config for syslog-ng 
(which is what I use on my servers).

# tell syslog-ng to ignore mail messages
filter notmail { not facility(mail); };

# notmail go to the console and the usual logs
log { source(src); filter(notmail); destination(messages); };
log { source(src); filter(notmail); destination(console_all); };

# tell syslog to put postfix's messages into /var/log/maillog
filter mail { facility (mail); };
destination maillog { file("/var/log/maillog"); };
log { source(src); filter(mail); destination(maillog); };
