Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot logs to syslog (other than MAIL)?

...

I see in the config file where I can enable syslog, but then all logging goes to the MAIL facility. I could find no reference to changing the facility:level for syslogging. Is that implemented, or planned?

I have this in my 'How to build' guide:

By default, Dovecot does his logging to the 'LOG_MAIL' facility.
Since this facility is allready being used by Sendmail, Dovecot
needs to be instructed to use another facility.

To find all source files in which LOG_MAIL is used, start the
command (in the root source tree):

        find . -type f | xargs -I{} egrep -l LOG_MAIL {}

This will produce a list of files, which contain 'LOG_MAIL'. Edit
these files and change 'LOG_MAIL' to 'LOG_LOCAL1'.

So logging is done to the local1 facility.
