Send Dovecot logs to rsyslog

[Nicolas Fo]

Great !
I was using both "log_path" and "syslog_facility" so "syslog_facility"
didn't work.
No I have in dovecot.conf :
# Logging. Reference: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging
#log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
syslog_facility = local5

And in rsyslog.conf :
local5.*            @IP_RSYSLOG_SERVER:PORT
local5.*            -/var/log/dovecot.log

Thanks a lot
Nicolas
