As do I and many others.

You could do this with syslog(-ng), or you could just specify the log_path
and info_log_path variables in dovecot.conf.  For example, in my protocol lda
{} declaration, I have:

   log_path = /var/log/deliver.log
   info_log_path = /var/log/deliver.log 

Read the documentation and try something similar:
