The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

Try installing the rsyslog package. This is what I have installed on EPEL 9.

rsyslog.x86_64                8.2102.0-117.el9  @AppStream

I had trouble with RH9 preferring the "journal" over syslog, so I also 
had to add some lines to rsyslog configuration like:

module(load="imuxsock"
       SysSock.Use="off")
module(load="imtcp") # needs to be done just once
input(type="imtcp" port="514")

You can put this a new file in (for example) 
/etc/rsyslog.d/sympalog.conf) and it will be included automatically and 
not overwritten by patches. The filename just has to end in .conf.

Lastly, I had a problem on a RHEL 9 machine with only high priorities 
being logged.  I had to create this systemd override file to configure 
the journal to forward on all priorities:

$ cat /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/haproxy.conf
MaxLevelStore=7
MaxLevelSyslog=7

Again, the filename can be anything that ends in .conf.

This may not be a complete configuration, but should get you started.

Good luck,

-Rob
