Fetchmail not writing to log

I'm setting up fetchmail for use with Request Tracker on a RHEL 8 server. It's not working and I'm unable to troubleshoot because it doesn't appear to be writing to /var/log/syslog or /var/log/fetchmail.log. How do I get it to write to one of these logs? Here's my /etc/fetchmailrc:

set daemon 60
set invisible
set postmaster administrator
set syslog
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3 port 995 username "user@example.com" password "xxxxxx" ssl mda "/var/www/html/requesttracker/bin/rt-mailgate --queue YLN --action correspond --url https://subdomain.example.com " nokeep

I restart fetchmail after each fetchmailrc edit. What am I doing wrong? **Update**: I tried this (I had already touched fetchmail.log with root:root access) and restarted fetchmail:

set daemon 60
set invisible
set postmaster administrator
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log
poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3 port 995 username "user@example.com" password "xxxxxx" ssl mda "/var/www/html/requesttracker/bin/rt-mailgate --queue YLN --action correspond --url https://subdomain.example.com " nokeep

Nothing. The fetchmail.log file remains empty. So then I tried this and restarted fetchmail:

set daemon 60
set invisible
set postmaster administrator
set syslog
poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3 port 995 username "user@example.com" password "xxxxxx" ssl mda "/var/www/html/requesttracker/bin/rt-mailgate --queue YLN --action correspond --url https://subdomain.example.com " nokeep

Again nothing. There are sendmail entries in the maillog file from my testing but they're from hours ago. I figured out to run sudo env LC_ALL=C fetchmail -vvv --nodetach --nosyslog -f /etc/fetchmailrc to see what's happening when it connects with Google. As it turns out, I didn't have one of those special passwords that Google needs to generate for you. If you're in this boat, see https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords .
