[Dovecot] how to handle logging

[Andreas Schulze]

Hello,

I plan a migration to dovecot and have concerns about the amount of logged data.
On a testsystem dovecot produced 1TB syslog per day with a comparable amount of pop3 sessions.

The current server log to STDOUT which is connected to multilog
(circular buffer, http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html)
That way I can have a look at the last activities to any time.

I like to have that in dovecot too. But since dovecot uses syslog
it's not possible to adopt 1:1

Any ideas?
Thanks
