Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dovecot-postfix
I've been working with the dovecot-postfix package in karmic koala a5.
postfix seems not to be working properly with rsyslog; e.g. doesn't seem to be
aware of /etc/rsyslog.conf. All SMTP activity is logged to /var/log/syslog even
though the default /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf is configured to send this
stuff to the usual /var/log/mail{.err, .warn,.log}. Furthermore, when I tried
to move IMAP logging to a separate log file by setting
log_path = /var/log/dovecot
in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix, my system stopped accepting SMTP mail
deliveries with the following error message in /var/log/syslog:
Sep 15 06:22:20 ibis postfix/local[25505]: D554941122:
to=<pgo...@internetbs.com>, relay=local, delay=28665,
delays=28665/0.01/0/0.14, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure.
Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot: Permission denied
)
I want to be able to keep IMAP stuff and SMTP stuff in separate log
files for easy analysis, and it seems pretty obvious that almost no one
would want SMTP traffic logged to /var/log/syslog.
