Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot/error.log: Permission denied )So I'm looking at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA to see what I can do
about it. I would have hoped some comments in the example config file
would have mentioned this and suggested a default practice solution. Is this
something few people or many people encounter (among those using dovecot/ deliver from Postfix)?If I do as the wiki describes and make separate log files for dovecot/deliver to use, do I just make them owned by Postfix? It
would seem to me a different directory might be more helpful (absent log files
could be created by having the directory permissions. I'm also thinking in
terms of log rotations, too ... and I prefer to do log rotations by date
stamping rather than pushing sequence numbers (the legacy log rotation).Any chance there are %-style variables I can use in log file/path
names to make log files automatically named by the date (and maybe time) ...
kind of like in a shell script I would do:date +/path/to/tree/%Y/%m/% d.logor such.
