Very strange, i have tryied to chmod 666 all log files, like that:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 681 Oct 8 11:08 dovecot-err.log

(Is terrible i know, but only a test)
Now i have another error (written in log of dovecot!)
deliver([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Oct 08 11:08:20 Error: Can't connect to

Seems all a problem of user running dovecot...is not root? Dunno why...
In config there isn't nothing to do so.
deliver isn't normally run as root, unless you've made it setuid-root.
So the log files and the auth-master socket need to be writable by the
user who runs deliver (as defined in Postfix's master.cf).
(Of course the user running deliver also needs to have access to all
users' mails. If you're using system users you'll need to make deliver
setuid-root.)
Since I just went through this I can offer these settings that worked
for me for virtual domains.
In dovecot.conf
log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-info.log
protocol lda {
log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log
...
}
auth default {
...
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0660
user = vmail
}
}
In /etc/postfix/master.cf
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
-f ${sender} -d ${recipient}
And these file and directory ownership and permissions.
/var/log
drwxrwx--- 2 root vmail 4096 Oct 7 07:41 dovecot
/var/log/dovecot
-rw-rw---- 1 root vmail 1658 Oct 8 12:32 dovecot-deliver.log
-rw-rw---- 1 root vmail 6572 Oct 8 12:35 dovecot-info.log
-rw-rw---- 1 root vmail 448 Oct 8 12:35 dovecot.log
This on a CentOS 5 system (running in a Linux-Vserver guest -- not that
that makes a difference) using the additional Yum repositories: rpmforge
and atrpms.
The cheap trick I used until I had it all working was to just log to
maillog using syslog.
HTH,
Rod
