Quoting Mart Pirita <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
log_path = /var/log/maillog
info_log_path = /var/log/maillog
Could be dangerous, unless all programs writing to /var/log/maillog use
append mode (and it is on local disks, etc).
Now when log files are rotating at 04:00 (maillog > maillog.1) dovecot
still keeps login into maillog.1 and not into maillog, where sendmail,
etc writes logs.
Yes, sounds right.
The only solution I did found, is adding into /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
command to restart dovecot:
/var/log/maillog {
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot restart >/dev/null 2>&1
endscript
}
Any other solution?
Have dovecot log via syslog instead of to a file, and the problem goes
away.
