   Q: The systemd journal manages logs in a binary format with metadata for efficient filtering. What is the best way to query the postfix logs in a default setup on Debian Bookworm?

   A: journalctl | grep postfix

     Correction: journalctl -u postfix@-

     I wasn't expecting the '@-' to be necessary. :blobcatoh:
