Got the very same result:

Jan 22 15:00:00 master: Warning: Sent SIGKILL to 1 log processes

The only difference is that now I have no evidence of why the logfile.info
is empty.
I'll try to compile the last 2.2 version, mine is the 2.2.28 that comes
with freebsd.

Thanks anyway,

Luciano.

Remove "U" from the flags:

U indicates that the file specified by path_to_pid_cmd_file will
  contain the ID for a process group instead of a process.

And sometimes "B" (don't insert info message about log rotation) is useful too.

Strange thing on log rotation front

[Luciano Mannucci]

Hi all!

I've decided to rotate the dovecot logs automatically on my freebsd
10.4 server using the system's newsyslog feature. I started with
logfile.info putting the line

/var/log/dovecot/logfile.info  600  31*@T16  ZCU 
/var/run/dovecot/master.pid 30

which should send a SIGUSER to the master process, which it seems to
do for I see in the log file:

master: Warning: Sent SIGKILL to 1 log processes
master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=69871 uid=0 code=kill)

though the log process doesn't die.

What did I do wrong?

my doveconf -n says:
