If log process fails at startup, the errors are logged there. Since it's done by design - and I can see there are reasons to do so - I'll mark this bug as wontfix. In any case, it is possible to spawn dovecot (either directly, or via the initscript) and redirect stderr to /dev/null using shell redirection if you wish to discard stderr. Regards, Apollon
